Black gains in education outpace income growth in 1970s
Census analysis shows blacks achieved strong educational gains from 1970 to 1980 with high school and college rates rising, yet economic progress lagged. Black women entered the labor force more, while black men’ s employment share dipped. Median black family income rose but real growth was modest due to recession and more single-mother households. Also notes aging population and a long-tenured Hood College educator, plus Mount Airy School kindergarten registration details for 1987-88.
