Negroes Are Progressing on To Security
Dr. Joseph H. Douglass, program analyst for health, welfare and education, told the National Urban League conference that American Negroes have made considerable, though spotty, progress toward economic security in the past 15 years. He noted Negro families earn about half as much as white families and rely more on public programs, but said Negro progress has generally outpaced white progress in most measures. He tied future gains to sustained high employment and output.
