Segregated as a Child with Miss Daisy Broughton

Mamas in Spirit

Miss Daisy Broughton was a child in Franklin, Tennessee during racial segregation. She tells stories of her experience and talks about how loving or hating a person has nothing to do with the color of their skin. Miss Daisy shares, "People would say they loved Christ, but they disliked me because of the color of my skin. That's a contradiction, because Christ loved everyobdy." Martin Luther King Junior's example and words speak deeply to Miss Daisy about the love of God and how we don't have to like everybody, but we do need to love everyone--each human person is a child of God. Miss Daisy shares how the meaning of Advent is to prepare for Jesus to come into our hearts again.
