One sunny morning recently, Patt Gunn sat on a bench in one of Savannah’s historic squares and pointed to a nearby church. As a child, Gunn did homework in the square while her mother cooked in the church kitchen. When she finished, her mom would give her a little money to get a snack from the store down the block—where Gunn had to stand outside to get served. Growing up during Jim Crow, she wasn’t allowed in.
