re: Vanderbilt pays $1.2M to remove 'Confederate' from dorm name

No it's not true it was created by FDR during the depression as a temporary fix for people out of work. As usual with government sponsored programs it gets abused. And I'm talking of doing more to promote black business owners in there own communities. Give those communities more sense of pride in going to work instead of waiting for a check every month and resorting to gangs and crime.
