The President's Commission on Civil Disorders says 13 major U.S. cities could be over 50 percent Black by 1984 if trends continue. Newark already exceeds half, with Dayton, Chicago, Detroit and others projected to reach majorities by years ranging from 1971 to 1984. The report cites unemployment, housing and education gaps, plus outbreaks in Newark and Detroit as context for rising racial tensions and policy concerns.
