This article is about merging 2 historically black schools each with a different traditionally white school in Georgia. This would not only save money and help the economic crisis that we are in but also conquer some of the ongoing racism. Criticism has already arised and it is said to be a "bad idea." A similiar propasal to merge black and white colleges 25 years ago died quickly. The article further tells us to remove the last remaining vesitges of Jim Crow from the University System and to get rid of seperate but equal facilities.
This opinion editorial is aimed towards the residents of Georgia and towards the four universities that are considered for merging. This issues is important to the audience because it will help the economic crisis and finally rid Georgia of race-favored schools. Being from Georgia, the issue of racism is important to me. I have seen it continually occur and I think this article helps make others aware of the importance of merging the two schools. By spreading the word, it is more likely that change will happen.

When you say "historically black" schools, what do you imply? Have you taken into consideration the historical value of keeping them separate?
The historically black schools are majority black schools that focus not only on getting African-American students in but keeping them in and the white schools began as segregation schools. Personally, keeping the schools seperate implies that the ongoing racism in Georgia is okay.
That's interesting that still today there are great issues with Racism to the point that schools are still segregated.
