Church allegedly refuses to marry black couple

A Baptist church in Crystal Springs, Mississippi allegedly refused to marry a black couple because of their race. Some church members complained to the pastor and threatened to vote him out if they married him at the church. The couple didn't find out until the night before the ceremony. The pastor did end up marrying the couple at another church. Some parishioners apologized for their fellow church members on CNN.
