Race Relations Document
Published By Urban League

*NEW YORK ~ An up-to-the
minute presentation of what underlies the major factors in race
relations in America, _ titled
~Economic and Social Status of
the Negro in the United States~,
is spelled out in a bound document published today by the
National Urban League.

Facts set forth in the 32-page
volume are drawn from _ informatien compiled by the Department of Health, Education and
welfare for use by the Urban
League, and are current as. of
Autumn, 1961.

In commenting on the publication, Henry Steeger, NUL president, cited a number of specific
areas of the documentation
which he regards as most crucial
to the future of the American
Negro~a 20 million population
facet of our national society.

~It is shown in this study
that in the decade just past the
Negro population increased over
the white growth-rate by a fiveto-four ratio,~ Mr. Steeger points
out. ~There are one-quarter more
Negroes in America than there
were just ten years ago.

~Census analysts project 40
million births in this~country in
the 1960~s, of which nearly 6
million will be non-white. Mortality rates are declining each
year. Thus, by the end of the
decade, it is anticipated that 18
million of the non-white population will be living in the major
metropolitan centers~more than
the entire population of Canada;
nearly twice that of our six New

~Engiand states.~

In the light of this mushrooming population growth, Mr.
Steeger noted, five major problem areas emerge from the documentation as the principal road
blecks to equal opportunity for

Negro citizens today. These are,
he said:

~Restricted opportunity in em
any chance of ever becoming a
contributor to the nations~s future progress.~

The sections in the document
which reflect the employment
and income differentials between
Negro and white families ~provide
a disturbing commentary on how.
we are tying the hands of our
national productivity by holding
down the buying power of the
Negro population through discriminatory practices~. the NUL
president said.

~Even with that impairment,~
he added, ~ the statistics show the
annual buying power of the national Negro community to be 22
billion dollars. With the population expanding ~in the ~ratio reflected in this study, it is obvious that this market potential is
not oné to be regarded lightly in
our. economy.~ =~;

The Urban League publication
also cites the problems of the
Negro population with respect
to the care and rehabilita.io..
the disabled and the unemploy:
able; participation in Social Se
curity program; in old-age, sur
vivors and disability insurance;
in public assistance; in welfarc
services for children, including
the problems surrounding adop:
tion of Negro babies.

The book, presented readabl;
but with an annotated appeadi:
noting availability ~of technica!
and up-dated reference material.
is designed both as a working
document for students and pre

fessional workers in the field @.
- community. welfare

and for gem
eral public information.
