Blacks underrepresented in South despite gains in office
The Voter Education Project reports blacks rose from 72 to 2,129 regional offices since 1965, yet held only 2.6 percent of 79,000 posts in 11 Southern states in 1977. Distribution cited: Alabama 230, Georgia 259, Louisiana 280, Mississippi 242, North Carolina 240, South Carolina 194, Texas 171, Tennessee 118, Virginia 92, Arkansas 219, Florida 94. The group notes progress but urges common sense in addressing stark underrepresentation.
