In 1968, during the Vietnam War, a white soldier named Weisenbaugh offered to go on ambush in my place after I was deeply affected by the news of Martin Luther King's assassination. This act of sacrifice showed me the power of working together across racial lines. Later, I asked God why I was in Vietnam then, and He said He preserved me so we could do it again – applying the civil rights movement's principles in the church.
