Oklahoma pastors will preach in hoodies to protest proposed state bill banning hoods

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.
