It sounds as if he was a good person who was troubled by the continued existence of racism but that doesn't mean that his death wasn't suicide.
Christianity frowns on suicide so admitting that the pastor killed himself might make some feel that he wasn't a 'real' Christian. That is silly but it might be why some are hesitant to use the word suicide even though he obviously killed himself.
That is sad and disturbing.

Quote:When I was about 10 years old, some friends and I were walking down the road toward the creek to catch some fish, when a man called ‘Uncle Billy’ stopped us and called us into his home for a drink of water — but his real purpose was to cheerily tell us about helping to kill ‘n—–s’ and put their heads up on a pole. A section of Grande Saline was (maybe still is) called ‘pole town,’ where the heads were displayed. It was years later before I knew what the name meant.”
It was this type of racial discrimination that Moore said haunted him.
That is sad and disturbing.
