Ahead of MLK Day: A Graetz Update

    I have been blessed by the Graetz family in Montgomery, for they have treated me as a member of their wonderful, big family for over two decades.
    Rev. Robert Graetz has been dealing with health issues for over a year...and Mrs. Jeannie Graetz has, of course, been at his side. She has also continued to be active in a wide variety of Civil Rights activities, including meeting with state department sponsored visitors who come to learn about the U.S. Civil Rights movement, and what happened in Montgomery.
    This photo was taken just before the holidays as she guided him around the neighborhood. Many of the Graetz' children were able to be with them.
     Rev. Graetz book, "A White Preacher’s Message on Race and Reconciliation: Based on His Experiences Beginning with the Montgomery Bus Boycott" is available at New South Books and elsewhere.
