After Alex Marshall-Brown, a Black woman, was made unwelcome outside an L.A. church, the reeling congregation is searching its soul.
When Alex Marshall-Brown, a Black actress and stuntwoman, sought shade on the lawn of an L.A. church, she videotaped the way church members let her know they wanted her gone.Protesters also came to the church Sunday to support Marshall-Brown, holding their own signs, including ones that read “Black Lives Matter” and “This church is racist” and “Love thy neighbor.” Or quoted from the Bible, as in: “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
The three people in her video were church volunteers, he told me. The two men in the video had resigned. That woman and the man putting up the sign alluded to problems they’d had in the past with homeless people — without using the word “homeless.”
