| - George Beauchamp Vick (1901–1975), known as G. B. Vick, or G. Beauchamp Vick, was pastor of Temple Baptist Church of Detroit, Michigan, from 1950 to the 1970s. J. Frank Norris, pastor of Temple Baptist from 1934 to 1950, appointed Vick in 1935 to help him manage the church, as Norris himself traveled between it and First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1950, Vick had a falling out with Norris and became solitary pastor of Temple Baptist. Vick and others disillusioned with the direction Norris had taken, founded the Baptist Bible Fellowship International and Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. Vick was a staunch segregationist, grounding his racism in the Bible. "God warned repeatedly in the Old Testament against Israel's mixture with other races and we believe that it is not only unwise but unchristian to thus cause confusion by mixture of the races," he wrote. Accordingly, Blacks were not allowed to join the church during his tenure, a whites-only policy that continued after him until 1986. Indeed, the church building on Grand River Avenue became during the mid-1950s a center of white resistance to integration of Detroit neighborhoods. (en)
