[Imc-dc-editorial] affirmative action feature

[Chris Strohm]

"If affirmative action is barred, higher education in America will be 
resegregated. Already, integration plans in K-12 education have been 
attacked across the country. As a result, segregation in K-12 education has 
increased dramatically."

where's the supporting data for these statements? if somebody can find the 
data to support this that is great, but without that data we should give 
attribution to the groups saying this, which in this case are The Coalition 
to Defend Affirmative Action & Integration, and Fight for Equality By Any 
Means Necessary.

without attribution it seems like the DC IMC is making these statements. but 
we aren't authorities on this subject. instead, the two groups are making 
these statements, so the attribution clears this up. the purpose of 
attribution is to clearly identify where information and/or opinions are 
coming from.
