Speaking Freely on White Attitudes Toward Black People
Don Oakley reviews Angus Campbell’s study from the late 1960s showing that while white Americans are not uniformly racist, attitudes vary by issue and distance. The Koerner Commission data found specific high levels of support for equal rights in jobs and housing, yet substantial resistance in housing and social integration. The overall trend toward closer, more friendly contact across groups is noted, with no call for a separate unequal America. The piece also includes a quiz question about Francis P. Church and unrelated civic trivia.
