I came across a very interesting article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which highlights how race has really evolved as an issue in the last 20-odd years. The article is about Michelle Obama’s first college roommate. She roomed with a white girl from New Orleans, whose racist mother wanted to have her room assignment changed because Michelle was black.

Since then, the two women have moved forward much as America has and they regret the incident. It’s a very good personal testimony to the ways racial relations in America are changing.

Well done.
