When he was only 11 years old, at a Presbyterian Church in Connecticut in 1965, Jim heard the first-hand report of a Yale Divinity School seminary intern about participating in a march for civil rights in Selma, Alabama. The march, led by Dr, King, was held in response to a previous march that had been crushed by brutal police action. Four people died supporting these marches, including Unitarian pastor James Reeb. If the UU's honor saints, he is certainly one of them! Jim is honored to preach at Pullman from time to time to celebrate his memory and commitment!
