Most of us commute to work every day, but some folks are doing a Sunday morning commute -- to go to church. It's a journey African-American residents priced out of cities -- and into suburbs -- often make to worship in the places where they used to live. We've been following some of those people who've moved out to the suburb of Antioch, a Bay Area community which has seen its black population triple in the past 20 years. Today in an excerpt from the KQED series "American Suburb," Sandhya Dirks reports on why African-American residents are trying to put a stop to that Sunday exodus, and grow churches right in their newly adopted community.
