The fact that its called the "Afro-American" Cultural Center should answer your questions of "self-segregation". The same reason why my alma mater's (University of Rochester) "Minority" student affairs office is located by the entrance to the winter tunnel's in the basement of the academic building. The more things change the more things stay the same. However, articles such as this continually chip away at these outdated foundations of our "civilized" society. For that I commend you.
