JOHN A. POWELL. "WHY ARE WE STILL SO DIVIDED BY RACE :[THIRD Edition]. " //Boston Globe// 23 Mar. 2003,US National Newspapers, ProQuest. Web. 14 Oct. 2009. John A. Powell, the man who holds the Williams Chair in Civil Rights & Civil Liberties at Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and is the director of the Kirwin Institute of Race and Ethnicity, wrote this. This article is about how segregation is still very much alive in places like New York City, Milwaukee, Chicago, etc. It says how colored people were unable to take advantages of all the opportunities that were offered to the white people. This is useful because it is from a range of about twenty years that this study by the US Census Bureau was done.  The author is trying to argue the point that race is still very prominent in America, so this might have a slight bias in that it might seem more prominent than it is.  "RACE SEPARATION OK, HALF IN POLL SAY :[Final Edition]. " //The Commercial Appeal// 17 Aug. 1999,Southeastern Newspapers, ProQuest. Web. 14 Oct. 2009. Writers from the newspaper wrote this article. A single author is not listed. This is the results of a poll about if it is okay that races are separated. Many young adults (aged 18-29) believe that racial separations are fine, as long as there are equal opportunities for everyone. This is useful because it might be a hint as to why some people are separated by race- they think nothing of it. The author is trying to get people to integrate more, so there might be a slight bias.
