Former Oklahoma Congressman J.C. Watts: “The difficulties in our lives or the difficulties that society faces don’t create character; they reveal character. I did not have to face prejudice and Jim Crow the way my parents and grandmother did, but I saw enough of its ugliness to realize that anybody in Rev. Graham’s position who stood up against it was surely revealing something special in his character. His spiritual strength and integrity seem even more amazing to me today than they probably would have back then.”
