Yes, that's good, but that strikes me more like a newspaper or journal article. I'm going with "Remains Necessary" because that divides people into supporters and antagonists and places the onus of having to show my cards on me.

Dear Nandini: I now understand that writers/authors have 3-5 seconds to get a reader's attention. I believe/suspect that means that our titles have to be the biggest billboard we can work up. If the title doesn't grab attention, then readers probably won't read anything more. That is what the competion is, why readers won't spend any more time (since they have too many e-mails/messages they want to get through--if they are like me). So here is my title. Let me know if it SOUNDS like something that engages you (hoping it engages people): "Why Affirmative Action Remains Necessary, a Memoir"
