Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Time for Burning is a 1966 documentary film directed by William C. Jersey.It is a story of an idealistic young minister, Rev. William Youngdahl, who arrives to be the new pastor of Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska. Augustana Lutheran is as lily-white as most of Nebraska, but it also happens to be near north Omaha, the one place in Nebraska that has black people. Augustana Lutheran in fact is barely a mile and a half away from Hope Lutheran Church, an all-black Lutheran congregation. Rev. Youngdahl hits on an idea: to promote good relations and foster understanding between two communities that rarely interact by having ten Augustana Lutheran households volunteer to visit black Lutherans in north Omaha in their homes, and vice versa.This perfectly mild and harmless idea sets off a firestorm of controversy. It soon becomes apparent that the good folks of Augustana Lutheran, despite their protestations of Christian faith, don't want to be spending any time with black people. The black Lutherans of north Omaha, for their part, are scornful of white people who profess to be Christians but don't follow God's teachings. Most outspoken is Ernie Chambers, a barber from north Omaha who is not afraid to call out white supremacy in uncompromising terms.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Four years after this movie was filmed Ernie Chambers ran for the Nebraska state legislature. He served there for 38 years, becoming the longest-serving legislator in Nebraska history, remaining a fire-breathing radical the whole time. In 2012 he won back his old seat.Augustana Lutheran is still a house of worship. | |

The Barber: Ernie Chambers, who delivers some home truth to white supremacy to Youngdahl while cutting hair. He holds Youngdahl in just as much contempt as Youngdahl's racist parishioners, shouting "don't look back in anger!" as Youngdahl leaves the barber shop. | |

Churchgoing Villain: The quiet, polite parishioners of Augustana Lutheran, who quite obviously hate and fear black people. | |

| A Time for Burning / int_eaf8c23a | comment |
Conversation Cut: An anxious but hopeful Rev. Youngdahl gets all the church leaders at Augusta Lutheran on board, and then says cautiously, "Tomorow night at the council meeting we'll see what reaction we're going to get." That's immediately followed by a cut to the next night and a hostile member of the council, saying "Why be so revolutionary and upheaval?" | |
