From the paper:

"This nation has come a long way in its effort to stamp out racism, but we still have a long way to go. Decades ago even though slavery was long gone the African American population in this nation was still made to feel substandard. There were "black neighborhoods," and "black schools," and "black water fountains" everywhere we looked. It was a not so subtle slap in the face to a race that had been proclaimed "equal" with the abolishment of slavery and then the amendments to the United States Constitution."
