Affirmative action is still very needed. Why, because resources are still not equal. I am in education and I see the differences between schools with a majority of white students and ones with a majority of black/latino students. I attending Spelman also, and I feel that the loss of Morris Brown will greatly change the dynamic of the AUC. I really do not feel the students at Morris Brown were receiving a substandard education. The same is true of Grambling. Both my parents attended Grambling, along with several family members.
Recently, a friend and I were talking about the Morris Brown situation. We basically surmised that as alums of HBCU's we need to contribute to our schools. He even suggested a AUC wide fundraiser. I think it would be effective, but the problem exists with the mismanagement of funds. We need people in those positions who know what they are doing.
