Blacks Gain In Education But Face Economic Decline
The Census Bureau report shows blacks made education and public office gains with 31 percent more Black college enrollments since 1970 and 2,991 in public office. However median family income rose slower than whites and the income ratio fell from 60 to 58 percent by 1973, with unemployment widening. The Black population reached 23.7 million, about 11 percent of the total, concentrated in central cities as whites move to suburbs.
