I read about this in the newspaper. It's a little overdue, since the Civil War ended over a century ago. I don't know if it will really helps today's population of African-Americans and current problems in their families, but it's good to hear anyway I suppose. I think states and local governments need to focus on education and making it more available to everyone. I think I heard that in California higher education is available to everyone, and that's what I think would really help (not just an apology). In Ireland it's the same way, from what I heard, it's much easier to afford university there too.
