Billy Graham: America's Racist Pastor?

Until his death in 2018, Rev. Billy Graham was almost a household name in the United States. Given the nickname “America’s Pastor”, Graham held massive revivals throughout America waging war against sin and the devil. He is remembered for fighting against evil, spreading love, and promoting equality to unite a very politically divided nation.

Billy Graham's racial equality persona appears to have been disingenuous, however. In the 1970s, Graham sided with President Richard Nixon's antisemitism when he said that the Jewish people "swarm around me and are friendly to me", but "They don't know how I really feel about what they're doing to this country."

When news of Graham's racist statements reemerged in 2002, Graham pretended not to remember spreading hate speech. Later, Graham finally admitted to doing so in a written apology. James Warren, who first broke the story in 2002 insinuated that the apology was somewhat forced; Graham continued to maintain that he did not recall the conversation with Nixon.
