Quote:US church in race row for refusing to wed black couple

30 July 2012 Last updated at 12:33 Help A black couple was turned away from the church they attended regularly because of a minority of people who did not want their marriage to take place there.

Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson wanted to exchange their vows at the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, Mississippi, but the pastor told them the ceremony could not be held.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
