"Sunday is the most segregated day of the week."  

            It has been through my helping local families with their family trees,  that I have been able to truly understand how far we, white americans, have to go.  We have always said "Come to us - our schools, work etc."  It is time for us to "go to the table".  Go to a local traditional black church service and sit in an all or almost all black congregation. ( Before you know it you will be talking with someone and making a new friend.)  Being in the minority - is an experience that most white america hasn't experienced but it is the "norm" for our black friends.   
              As Dr. Maya Anglelou said "We are more similar then different."
