Census finds progress in race gaps but slow overall
The Census Bureau reports substantial gains for African Americans in the 1960s and 1970, especially in the South, with rising black home ownership and more mayors, yet gaps with whites persist in education, employment, and voting. The survey notes regional contrasts, higher unemployment for blacks, and a call to improve northern race relations. It also mentions a political shift as the National Education Association signals involvement in the presidential race against Nixon.
