Chicago Sun-Times: "WHY I STAND WITH FATHER PFLEGER"  

 |   Commentary by John Fountain   

I stand with Father Pfleger. ...

For decades now, he has been a living, breathing, walking epistle of the love of Christ and his compassion for the least of these.

Indeed, Pfleger has dwelled among us. We have witnessed him walk without wavering through the valley of the shadow of death, speak truth to power, fight against violence and racism that seeks to choke Chicago’s Black communities.

N'DIGO: "The Plight Of Father Pfleger"  

 |   by Hermene Hartman   

Father Michael Pfleger grew up to become a Black leader. He was impressed with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as he led a civil rights movement on the southwest side of Marquette Park. King called it one of the most dangerous marches he had ever participated in. White young men, all Pfleger’s friends, and peers perched in the trees and hollered to the marchers. They called them “niggers,” “jungle bunnies,” “monkeys,” and told them to go back home.
