One place where segregation has a particular stronghold is very likely your local church. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 86% of American churches have no significant racial diversity.
“This is certainly fruit of the poisonous fruit of racism,” says Nicholas Pearce, Assistant Pastor at Chicago’s Apostolic Church of God.“Not only has racism and racial inequality been tolerated by the church, it has in some in many cases been perpetuated and theologized about and sanctioned by the church,” he said.
“We in the church are inheritors of a legacy in which the economic and political power in this country is concentrated in White hands and that has been blessed in the church,” Edgerton said. “Oftentimes the church has become a center of thar concentration itself and we are living out the history of this nation in our houses of worship.”
