Keyes does a good job on "good loser," but without specific cites. Here's a
cite I didn't produce before:

Keyes has "Eleven o'clock Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in
America" from the Newspaperarchive cite of April 28, 1953. It's before MLK, Jr.
said it.

_WORSHIP HOUR FOUND TIME OF SEGREGATION_

...
Eleven o'clock Sunday morning--when most Protestant churches are holding
worship services--was designated yesterday as the "most segregated time" in
America by Dr. Helen Kenyon, former moderator of the Congregational-Christian
Churches.
...
Addressing the annual Christian Frontiers forum of the Women's Society of
Riverside Church, Dr. Kenyon said that interracial churches were like "oases in
a great desert." She declared that American Protestantism tended to maintain
the "status quo" and to shy away from "new neighbors and new ways of living."
...
Dr. Kenyon is chairman of the policy committee of the Department of United
Church Women of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.

Someone has said that eleven o'clock Sunday morning is the most segregated
hour in the week. It is our church hour!!
