Louisiana Museum Stops Segragation

The difference between race is something America has always been dealing with. Trying its best for everybody of every race to see eye to eye. The Museum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana they are taking the next step. The article call "New Louisiana Museum Confronts Segregation" at (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/us/13grambling.html?ref=us) talks about how the museum pays tribute to Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson who came to at that time a segregated Grambling school. The white crowd was very hostile just a couple of years before Mr. Robinson came to Grambling a black man was rape with a hot poker and then hung. Mr. Robinson turned the crowd to his side quickly as he had over 408 victories and sent more then 200 players to the pros. Now after the three year death of Mr. Robinson the place that once hated black people have used their money and made an entire museum on Mr. Robinson life and legacy. While America is not perfect and their is still some segregation going on, This museum is showing we are taking a step in the right direction.
