Race Matters… Black Couple Denied Wedding Service At Mississippi Church! SMH!
CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MS (WLBT) –
Charles Wilson has received mixed reaction since the WLBT story about his wedding controversy aired.
“I’ve had some to tell me that it’s not a big deal, that we shouldn’t have pushed it, that we’ll open up a can of worms, that we should just really let it die down. But the other side of it is, those wonderful folks that have came to me and said I’m so happy that someone spoke up about it, come to our church.”
Charles and his wife Te’ Andrea had to change the location of their wedding after they were told some members didn’t want the African-American couple to exchange vows at the predominately white First Baptist Church.
“Those who did it was wrong and those who knew they were wrong should have said something. We have yet to hear from anybody, besides Reverend Stan, from the church to say they’re sorry,” says Wilson.
Charles says he’s had a difficult time explaining the situation to his kids.
He says even if it’s a small portion of the congregation that didn’t want the marriage to take place, Charles isn’t sure who he can trust.
