"Racism is definitely a lot better than it
was 40 years ago, but I don't think it will
ever go away. We have taken strong
strides in the past 30 years. We need to
keep moving forward and stand on our
own two feet." -Sara Simmons
"Racism has changed a lot. There is
still some racism, but it is hidden."
-Jeremy Lowe
"Racism was accepted 40 years ago,
but now it is not accepted by the
general populations."
-Mark Richmond

more tolerant. We always need to
work on it." -Suzy Alexander
Editor in Chief:
Robert Schoenberg (x2576)

than what it was before. We have come
a long way, but we still have a lot of
work to do."
