Sandy, I think you must be living out of Fantasyland at the moment. When I was at Southern, the library had the "Billy Graham Center for Evangelism" and the "Billy Graham Chair of Evangelism." I never heard the kind of criticism you say was taking place. Guess I was in an alternative universe then since I never heard it.
Personally, I had a great appreciation for Billy Graham because of his refusal to conduct his crusades in the South without inter-racial cooperation. I attended his crusade in 1965 in Greenville, SC, arranged for a church group to attend one in Raleigh, NC, in the 1970's while I was recuperating from surgery, and took a group to his Charlotte, NC, meeting around 1996. His style was not my style, but I always found him authentic and humble.
