In an article published on the CBS Interactive site BNET Susannah Zak Figura writes about a famous Cornell University Lecturers interpretation on when segregation is deemed acceptable. She writes:
"David L. Moore, a lecturer at Cornell University's American Indian Program, believes 'self-selected separation is not segregation." Moore defends Cornell's American Indian dormitory, Akwekon (pronounced Uhg-way-gun), arguing that it provides an essential'"supportive community' for American Indian students whose cultural values are built around community"
When segregation is voluntary, no one is at fault. This certaintly doesn't mean America is still segregated!
