Remnants of de jure segregation

Certain private Christian based clubs or "lodges" that had previously practiced de jure segregation and sexism as little as fifty years ago no longer discriminate; however, the affect from the past has created an inevitable de facto segregation.

In fact, this club just welcome their first black family as members. Although the interaction was awkward between the applicant and the member taking the application because the white gentleman was concerned that the family would feel "out of place" or offended because there were no other black members. It takes a lot of courage and understanding to break down these barriers.
