From the Paper:

"While projects and organizations are essential components in the solution to racism, I believe that no amount of institutionalized projects can solve the problem of radial prejudice on a permanent basis. The real solution to racism in America lies in a change of perception and eradication of all stereotypical perceptions. In other words, the best method to eradicate racism is to do away with negative perceptions by making a concerted effort to develop an understanding of other cultures and to cultivate a more positive attitude towards life."
