A black woman has filed a lawsuit against the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, saying she was abruptly fired from the organization after complaining it was not reaching out to African-Americans.
Kimberly McCallum of Charlotte says in the lawsuit filed in Mecklenburg County that she was the only black employee working in the association's executive offices when she started there in February 2007. She complained to her superiors later that year when she was asked to recruit congregations to a camp program but found that a list of 635 prospective churches had only three congregations that were primarily black.
McCallum was told a week later that her job was being eliminated.
The association declined to immediately talk about McCallum's job but called her allegations "preposterous."

Knowing Billy Graham and his organization (read: Cult), 'preposterous' is the last word that could be used to describe her allegations
