Christian, an annual “History
Speaks” series brings civil rights
icons such as Gray, former Atlanta
mayor Andrew Young and Terrence
Roberts and Carlotta Walls LaNier of
the Little Rock Nine to campus.
“It’s been a priority for us to bring
in heroes who we could learn from
and be with as we fry to make this
a more welcoming community for
folks,” deSteiguer said.
Benton and Paula Baugh — the
Oklahoma Christian auditorium’s
new namesakes — have been
active in Houston-
area efforts to bring
Christians of all races
together, including
an annual citywide
Campaign for Christ
and Day of Good
Works.
The Baughs are not
alumni of Oklahoma
Christian but were introduced to
it by David Duncan, the Memorial
church’s preacher and vice chairman
of the university’s board of trustees.
“I tell you what, you’ve got two
names over (the auditorium) now
that will bring honor to Oklahoma
Christian University and honor to
the students and honor to their
legacy and honor to God,” said Gary
Smith, minister for the Fifth Ward

Shannon voiced regret for “so
many injustices that we simply
cannot explain.”
“We regret the violent times of the
Civil War and civil rights (era) —
times of prejudice and cruel hatred,”
Shannon told the lectureship crowd.
“I regret times that we settled to be
nice yet to be separate.
“We regret that many of our
Christian schools only opened the
doors to all races when our govern-
ment tied their funding — federal
funding — to this discussion,” he
added. “There’s no ------------
way to explain that
away, to make it right.
It’s just not. For this
I’m sorry
“For remarks or
actions or even lack
of actions in our past,
for the real lack of
honoring God and
God’s creation, I’m sorry We won’t
seek to rewrite history or defend
wrongdoing.”
