The reason the churches for the most part are not integrated is because the neighborhoods are not integrated. You can't force people. They will do it on their own. Look at the fiasco of forced school busing. No one was happy, black or white. I know. I also drove school bus in Omaha and drove the black kids out to the white suburbs. They were not happy. | Can't give you the exact location of the Apostolic Church, but it's something like 24th & Grace Street. I could check next time I'm there.
But the point - that I believe Jaxion completely missed - is that there is a LOT of "we don't care about race" integration going on that has NOTHING to do with the government, or the political pot-stirrers. And it's good to see.
By the way, have you been to downtown Omaha lately - and seen the new Qwest Center and all the riverfront urban renewal? It's amazing! |
