Review: The Awful Grace of God: Religious Terrorism, White Supremacy, and the Unsolved Murder of Martin Luther King Jr.

The Awful Grace of God: Religious Terrorism, White Supremacy, and the Unsolved Murder of Martin Luther King Jr. by Stuart Wexler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whether or not you believe Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered by James Earl Ray, acting alone, or was murdered by individuals conspiring to do so, this book is a fascinating and informative read. It details many of the hate groups active in the 1960s in the United States, their activities, and their interactions with one another.

One of the fascinating and totally abhorrent truisms expressed in this book is the number of Christian pastors who are openly segregationist, at best, and haters of African American people and others, at worst. It is disgusting. What this book did for me, among other things, is show me that hatred and racism is even more wide spread than I previously chose to believe. I am better informed for having read this book.
