The Continuing Factor of Black Economic Inequity in the United States.

Spratlen, Thaddeus H.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v6 n2 p73-79 Sum 1982

Examines Black and White differences in income, returns to education, employment, unemployment, housing conditions, and business ownership. Suggests that modest gains in Black economic prospects during the 1960s and 1970s are now being eroded and need to be sustained through Blacks' individual competence, group solidarity, and institutional development.
