Some members of the parish say that was long overdue.
When the bathroom building went up in 1959, one set of doors was painted white; the others were a different color. Ushers would follow black parishioners outside to make sure they entered the correct door.
"Let me tell you something maybe not too many people know," says Anita Battis, 76, a parishioner at Our Lady of Peace her whole life. "As long as I've come to this church, I've never, ever used that restroom. Never."
Her grandfather helped build the church, back before the days of indoor plumbing.
