“Placing a time limit on affirmative action would in all likelihood blunt the orchestrated politics of controversy that now bedevils it.

— Orlando Patterson —

Read it and let the conversation begin.”

Is there value in having immigrant churches? Absolutely. But if we don't have congregations gathering with people of different races, what we're doing is we are redefining racial division, a racial inequality.”

— Michael Emerson
