Mississippi’s history of religious segregation actively harms the state’s future. Most Christian African Americans and white Americans attend congregations of the same race. This prevents the valuable exchange of cultural knowledge needed to succeed in a diverse society. For a better future, Mississippi’s people must acknowledge a past of prejudice, and move forward as a unified church. We decided to interview a handful of MSMS’s student’s and faculty from all different backgrounds to gauge the movement of Mississippi’s churches towards diversity.
