I did not Dr. Patton personally, but I (a white woman) am deeply appreciative of his courage to challenge oppressive systems in this country and make the US a better place for us all. I am too young to remember the Freedom Rides, but I aspire to have a portion of the courage of Dr. Patton and the others who risked their lives to end despicable segregation and white supremacy. God's Blessings to all who knew and loved him. --aj johnston

Rip was such an awsome person and mentor. I met him several times during my activities with Facing History and Ourselves. His actions during the Civil Rights Movement were so inspiring and I will honor his memory by telling my students about him every year.

The Cremona Strings Ensemble Too had the pleasure of performing with Dr. Ernest Rip Patton, Jr. with New Spirit & Friends during Easter and Christmas Cantatas. His ability to blend with string artists was exceptional keeping the balance for instrumental ensembles and vocals appeared effortless. Rip was a charismatic saint, wearing multiple hats, over his span of life affording access and opportunities for many people of all cultures opening doors holistically.

Sharing the musical excellence with Rip during church services and/or with New Spirit & Friends has allowed me the opportunity to experience life, love, caring, talent, and more with GOD's phenomenally, multi-purpose saint. Thank you for the memories.
