Beacon Magazine and the Savannah Morning News explore the effects of race and class discrimination in Savannah institutions and offer solutions to overcoming the obstacles that divide us.
When asked about the moral obligation of integration, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously responded, “I think it is one of the tragedies of our nation…that eleven o’clock on Sunday morning is one of the most segregated hours…in Christian America.”
More than half a century later, Christian America strives in fits and starts to fulfill Dr. King’s call to racial integration within the church; to bring people of many races and cultures together within one congregation.

Beacon letter from the associate editor: Keep going Savannah. You ve got this.

Dear Reader,
Back in October Amy Condon, my friend and the usual associate editor of Beacon, asked me to serve as guest editor for Volume 2/Issue 4 which focuses on the intersection of race and class in Savannah. So, let me introduce myself.
I grew up in Byron, a tiny town in the center of Georgia. Savannah has enchanted me since I was a little girl and my family vacationed here in the summer. We fed birds in the squares, visited the beach, went to museums, and ate ourselves silly. When the vacation was over, I remember crying all the way home.
