Data per training to minority oppression address median income, income and education, poverty and unemployment. Minority oppression in the health field is examined in terms of life expectancy, death rates, birth, health care, and diseases.

The section on education addresses white control over school boards, professional staffs, and college faculty. Minority oppression information includes a minority profile, suspensions, college, and representation in various professions. White control of the news media addresses newspapers, magazines, publishing, T.V. and radio broadcasting.

Facts on minority oppression and government include punishment, sentencing, bail, prisons, and jailers. Judges, attorneys, the military, and punishment are the focus of a section on the courts in government. The census section notes that minorities are undercounted for 1970. (Author/AM)
