Oklahoma pastors will preach in hoodies to protest proposed state bill banning hoods [View all]

Greg Horton

OKLAHOMA CITY (RNS) On the eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, many Oklahoma pastors will preach not in robes, but hooded sweatshirts, or hoodies, to protest a proposed state bill that would ban a mask, hood, or covering of the face in public under certain conditions.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a Disciples of Christ minister in Oklahoma City not related to the civil rights activist, started the initiative because he believes the bill is designed as an attack on dissent.
