Tuberculosis Patterns Among Chicago Racial Groups
In a Chicago district a 1940 total survey by Dr Frederic Tice found 8 942 of 10 000 examined were Black and 3 40 were White with active tuberculosis rates of 371 percent and 529 percent respectively. The observer notes a citywide 1939 death rate eight times higher for Blacks.
