Jennifer Jones-Austin:
My dad used to say, 'Freedom is the ability to say no to a lie, to veto an untruth.' He would tell black ministers, black religious leaders across the country, that you have to be very careful when you set-up programs in your churches with government funding. Because you can't sit at Caesar's table and eat Caesar's meat and then take Caesar on. He would say that the freest person on this earth, is the faith leader. Because that faith leader's allegiance is only to God.
