A few days after Dr. King was killed, the sun shone brightly through the stained-glass windows of Faith African Methodist Episcopal Church. The choir stood solemnly in their blue-and-white robes.

“Let us pray,” Reverend Sawyer said to the congregation.

I stood with Mama and my brothers with my head bowed.

“Let us pray for this nation and for those who’ve lost so much in the rioting on the West Side of this city, and cities across the entire country. And let’s thank God Almighty that despite our outrage, despite our anger, despite our suffering, the citizens of the great South Side of Chicago did not despair; did not destroy our own communities. For violence only begets violence. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord.”

There was a chorus of Amens, louder than usual for Faith. We almost sounded like Baptists.
