Former Ku Klux Klan Member Ordained In Black Church

A former officer of the Ku Klux Klan has changed his ways and was ordained in San Diego so he could serve as a minister in one of the country's largest black denominations. Former imperial wizard Johnny Lee Clary said in a statement he was authorized by the Church of God in Christ to participate in the ministry of racial healing and conduct evangelism campaigns, according to reports.

Clark joined the KKK Youth when he was younger, then later became a national spokesman for the White Knights of the KKK. According to Clary's web site, he started reevaluating his life and eventually embraced religion. Clary changed his view on the world and racism. Clary said in a statement that he has learned good friends come in many colors. Clary now sees racism as a cancer, and says he wants to bring people together and not tear them apart. Absolutely amazing!
