ATLANTA — Seated side by side, Washington and Alabama players on Tuesday evening visited the church where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his first sermon.
In 1947, King was 19 when he gave a trial sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he would later become co-pastor alongside his father. He served in that capacity until his assassination in 1968.
Turning USC loss into a positive
At the time, of course, the Huskies weren’t gleaning many positives from their 26-13 loss to USC on Nov. 12. In hindsight, though, their one loss might not have been altogether a terrible thing.
