Excerpt
Twice within the span of a year, Lutheran men dedicated to the Gospel ministry were ruthlessly beaten because they, white men, were serving the church and people in some type of interracial activity.
The first incident occurred March 16, 1961, when Seminarian James David Fackler was beaten because he helped to arrange for and participated in a church-sponsored youth activity in which Negro and white young people took part. (The April 1961 issue of The VANGUARD reported on this incident.)
