At the Emory University, racial wounds were reopened when
the president of the University, James W. Wagner, wrote about, and favored, the
1787 compromise in which each slave was valued as one fifths of a person. The
University is also at a time where budgets are being called upon and many
people feel that the budget cuts are mainly targeting the minority. According
the article, this year has been a rough one for the Emory University when
dealing with racism, even dealing with Christianity, not just African
Americans.
This article discusses the ongoing battle for the SCLC in
today’s society. Many students protested the hatred James W. Wagner expressed
in his recent post in the University’s newspaper. Wagner continues to apologize
but students continue to protest that he be fired and punished.

Oh my gosh. Just goes to show that although we may like to think we have grown so much as an accepting society, racism is still, sadly, very prominent.
