Among these purported warrior-priests was a 92-year-old French missionary who came to Uganda 60 years ago, and the 80-year-old Italian-born former Archbishop of Kampala.

Abernathy and Dr. King taught me that socialism is the answer. Read Dr. King's last speeches, particularly the one he gave at the Riverside Church.
