A correspondence letter from Lonnie C. King Jr. to Mary Ann Sumral. Lonnie C. King Jr. reflects on a reunion of former members of the Student Movement in Atlanta in 2000 and notes the lack of young African-American students in attendance, who allegedly did not see the need to participate because they did not face the same problems as their predecessors. King points out that the problem of racial profiling of African American men and other discriminatory actions reflect "Separate but Equal" conditions in a hidden way yet African American Youth are not concerned with such issues. This implies a problem with the education and awareness of present-day African-American youth regarding their history and the ongoing issue of racism in America. King Jr. proposes a solution to incorporate African American history into the curriculum of undergraduate schools in Atlanta and requests financial support from like-minded people to achieve this goal. 3 pages.
