In 1966 Nebraska, a pastor tries to integrate his white congregation with a black church.
A Time for Burning - a 1966 American documentary film which explores the attempts of the minister of Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska, to persuade his all-white congregation to reach out to "negro" Lutherans in the city's north side.
The film chronicles the relationship between the minister, the Rev. L. William Youngdahl, his white Lutheran parishioners and black Lutheran parishioners in the community. Youngdahl was the son of a former governor of Minnesota and federal judge, Luther Youngdahl. The film includes a meeting between Youngdahl and a black barber, Ernie Chambers, who tells the minister that his Jesus is "contaminated." At one point another Omaha Lutheran minister, the Rev. Walter E. Rowoldt, of Luther Memorial Lutheran Church, states that "This one lady said to me, pastor, she said, I want them to have everything I have, I want God to bless them as much as he blesses me, but, she says, pastor, I just can't be in the same room with them, it just bothers me." Rev. Rowoldt and other ministers also discuss the concern that blacks moving into white neighborhoods will decrease property values.
The attempt to reach out does not succeed and Youngdahl resigns from his job as minister of the church.
The black barber, Ernie Chambers, was rewarded by American jewry for his efforts in the "civil rights" movement by putting him thru law school and electing him Senator to the Nebraska Legislature in 1970. By 2005 he had become the longest-serving state Senator in the history of Nebraska. He was given a nice cushy life for his work in helping destroy our once great country, now feral negros are murdering white people on mass, and public schools where negros attend are unbearable for white students to learn anything as they fear getting beaten on a daily basis.
Thanks jews and thanks Ernie Chambers.
