The little suburban Philly town where I grew up had a Methodist Episcopal (white) Church and a small African Methodist Episcopal (black) Church - one Sunday each year members of the AME Church would worship at the Methodist Episcopal, and another Sunday, a group from the Methodist Episcopal would attend the AME Church (which was not large enough to accomodate many vistors) - not much in the way of formal interaction maybe, but way back in the supposedly insensitive and indifferent 1950's, a giant step toward acknowledging a need for and fostering improved black/white relations - and we didn't even have Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to sermonize to us and show us the way.......

But we did have Rev. Leon Sullivan who does not get enough credit for the wonderful work he did.
