What chapter in the novel "Color of Water", by James McBride gives multiculturalism a new meaning?

The book is a "Black man's tribute to his white mother" and tells his story along with his mother's story from both of their point of views.

Multiculturalism- relating to or including many different cultures

I'm not too sure of what the question is asking, because I then have to explain my answer. But I have been putting a lot of thought into this and I'm stuck. I think that it could possible be a chapter where they are all in at church, where everyone is civil and it doesn't matter where you're from, everyone treats everyone else equally. Do you think you would be able to lead me in a better direction? :)

Apparently none of the English tutors here have read the book. (I have read others by McBride.) I would suggest you consider a chapter in which cultures obviously blend, as in food or other manifestations of white and black subcultures. You may well have it in the church-going chapter. Defend your choice with specific examples of how two (or more) subcultures blend successfully.
