Charles   Marsh

“The thinking he brought to the task was simple at its heart, and yet severe in its demands. If a person calls himself a Christian, he must give up everything and follow Christ. In Mississippi in 1963 and 1964, “everything” meant, first and foremost, giving up the practices of white supremacy; but it also meant giving up class privilege, educational pretension, anything that kept one from opening up and going the whole way. The Christian life must be lived for others.”
