Black Gains Stir White Middle Class Fears
NEW YORK AP Newsweek reports white, middle income Americans feel resentment over Black gains. A Gallup poll of 2,105 households finds 85 percent think Black militants are treated too leniently, 44 percent say Negroes have better job prospects, 41 percent better education access, and 45 percent more government financial help for unemployed Blacks. The article notes broad pessimism about the country's direction and support for increased federal spending on job training, pollution control, organized crime, and medical care for the elderly. In Bishopville, South Carolina, plans are announced for the first Negro-owned textile mill, Bishop Mills, a $4 million project aimed as an equal opportunity employer with mixed Black and white workers.
