- Abstract
The article discusses the impetus for the affirmative actions taken in the U.S. to admit African Americans in the elite schools in the country including University of California-Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Pennsylvania. It was described that the affirmative actions were formulated to render social justice to African Americans who have been victim of racial apartheid. Meanwhile, it was argued by several commentators that such actions was motivated by the aim to overcome the effects of slavery and the prevalence of racial discrimination.
