ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, FEB. 2, 2014 AND THEREAFTER - In this Monday, Jan. 27, 2014 photo, Gerald Terrell, the senior trustee for the Mount Zion First African Baptist Church, stands in the church's offices in Charlottesville, Va. He says the church sits just across the street from a public housing project where children of families often don’t have the advantages that wealthier families consider basic. At least when he was a boy, growing up in segregated central Florida, those with limited education knew they could find a job in agriculture or a factory. Today, "it’s harder because we’ve moved from an industrial society to a technological society. And who has the computer at home? The haves," says Terrell, who volunteers as a mentor to African-American boys. (AP Photo/Adam Geller)
