Supreme Court earns blacks’ trust while TV outpaces all
A Louis Harris survey shows blacks distrust most white institutions with TV leading at eight points above the Supreme Court in perceived fairness. The FBI and Justice Department fall in trust, while the Nixon Court’s favorability slides from 3 to 1 to 2 to 1. Local police and courts are seen as anti black by about 3 to 1. The poll covers 1,200 black households and compares current views to a year ago.
