Robert B. McNeill
Rev. Robert B. McNeill (born May 21, 1915)〔 was a Presbyterian minister who was the pastor of several southern churches in the 1940s to the 1960s. After writing an article in ''Look'' magazine, he was dismissed from his position as pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, Georgia, due to his views on race and racial segregation.〔 Though McNeill was not the only southern pastor to be removed due to his views on segregation, the incident garnered a great deal of media attention and negative press for the south and the commission which dismissed him, especially because McNeill was a southerner himself.〔
==Early life==
Robert B. McNeill was born on May 21, 1915, in Birmingham, Alabama to Walter Patterson McNeill and Mary McLeod McNeill.〔 His mother and father were both southerners and Scottish, and taught McNeill that he “was an exceedingly lucky person to be white, American, and Southern, but above all to be of Scotch descent.”〔 As a boy, like most southerners, he was raised by an African American “cook-nurse.”〔 Because his middle-class neighborhood, known as Enon Ridge, and later to be called “Dynamite Hill” due to bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, was next to the African American neighborhood called East Thomas, there was a persistent fear that African Americans would move into the neighborhood and drive the prices down.〔 As a child, he internalized this adult fear, as many other children did, and would throw rocks at the African American boys who ventured into the neighborhood.〔 However, he also looked up to an African American man named Bob Perdue who worked on the neighbor’s yard, and was very attached to his cook-nurse, whom he had the duty of walking home from the age of 12. Whenever a cook quit, it was his job to discover prospects for a replacement, leading him to go from door to door in the African American ghetto of East Thomas, judging the women and their houses to decide if they were appropriate to invite to speak to his mother about the job, giving him a larger experience with African Americans than most of the boys he knew.〔 Like many other Southerners at the time, as a child he enjoyed the company of particular African Americans, but did not feel the same about African Americans as a whole.〔
