It always amazes me of the extent to which some in our society have gone to segregate the races. In an article about the Civil War in the local paper, I read of the following example. In 1913 when the 50th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg was honored, former Union and Confederate soldiers came together on the old battlefield. Even thou Black soldiers fought there they were not allowed to attend the ceremony.
