Sojourners is always well worth reading but I thought "The Changing Face of America," by Timothy Tseng and David Yoo (March-April 1998), was outstanding.
Segregation does abound and I found their three suggestions to be particularly helpful: 1) Recognize and name "white" privilege and power over all of us; 2) Reject extreme forms of identity politics; and 3) Support and take part in ministries that stress racial partnership while respecting the presence of "ethnically based" groups.
