Why Black Churches?

Historically, the black churches were very important to African-Americans.

Does the US only consist of white people and African-Americans? Are these churches colored black for a reason? Why does the color of the church matter?

There are Black Churches because of the deplorable history of segregation in the United States, that continued as official policy in at least one major Fundamentalist Institution till the year 2000. At the moment, even though it is legal to integrate, we are still segregated. Segregation has a long shadow, and lives even now.
