Rev. Anthony Washington didn't know what kind of response he'd get when he called for a public demonstration last year.
Washington, who is pastor of Mount Triumph Baptist Church in McAlester, felt compelled to call for a demonstration following the death 10 days earlier of George Floyd beneath the knee of a police officer on a street in Minneapolis.
