From the Paper:

"America has built its reputation on the fact that it is open armed and diverse. It is the nation that millions flock to each year to start new lives and it is the nation that prides itself on its many anti discrimination laws. While the nation pats itself on the back for its seeming color blindness those who live within its boundaries know that racism still exists. The nation has been working on the problem of racism since the abolishment of slavery, and with each passing generation it has become a little less pronounced but it is still being experienced by African Americans, Asians, Middle Eastern descents and others(Galvan, 1995). It is important to understand the history of racism if the nation hopes to continue the quest to stomp it out for good in the future."
