Is This Happening to Black Families?

Jason Petty: The 1970s are a challenging decade for many people in the United States. Successful African Americans move their families to newly integrated communities, leaving an even higher concentration of poverty in the predominantly African American inner city. As a more globalized economy ships factory jobs off to foreign countries, advancing technology means what good working literacy and other training that folks who'd grown up in economically disadvantaged schools didn't have? Everything just builds upon itself.
