Endogenous social capital and self-rated health
In this study we analyze data from Statistics Canada’s General Social Survey, a cross-sectional and nationally representative survey of Canada’s population, to assess the impact of three dimensions of social capital on self-rated health. We measure these dimensions, which consist of social networks and social support, civic participation and social participation, with a comprehensive set of 5 indicators. To avoid reverse causality due to the cros…

The Private Negro Colleges and Universities--An Appraisal
Negro institutions of higher education face the difficult task of training students who, for the most part, lack basic skills and are culturally deprived. They must try to solve the problem of reconciling remedial work with the requirements of a sound college education. Those which are successful in meeting the needs of the majority of their students will develop into institutions which can serve a regional as well as a racial function in higher …
The Naacp Today
Many significant events have occurred along the color line since we last met. Our organization, too, has been involved in, and felt the impact of, each of these. Yet you and I know that the changing status of the Negro in our society is not determined by any single event, and no progress toward our-and democracy's-goal of equality is produced in a vacuum. Every development is the product of the past; no less than it may be the immediate consequen…
The Negro Private and Church-Related College
By time reader reaches this chapter, he will have a wealth of information about origins, philosophy, and problems of Negro church-related colleges. These institutions have inspiring traditions and an interesting history; they face difficult futures. When Supreme Court handed down its historic decision in Spring of 1954, there was a rash of predictions and advocacies of demise of Negro institutions of higher education. Relaxed and sober discussion…
Some Legislative Consequences of Negro Disfranchisement
The disfranchisement of Negroes in the South has many consequences. In the first place, Southern legislators are not responsive to the needs and desires of non-white Americans for civil rights protection. More than that, these legislators have a vested interest in actively opposing civil rights laws since they are elected on white supremacy platforms. Civil rights laws, guaranteeing greater franchise privileges to colored citizens, would make whi…
Integration in Public and Private Housing
sunpe new significance in light of recent decisions of the Supreme Court banning segregation in public schools. Long before this action, concentration of nonwhites in ghettos had nullified legal prohibitions above the MasonDixon line on racially separate schools. After the decisions, residential segregation became a principal proposal for getting around the Court's decrees in the South. In all regions of the nation, restriction of colored citizen…
Some Basic Issues in Desegregation
In the face of this need, we read and hear discussions of gradualism, moderation on both sides and the threat of sending Federal troops into the South. Those who raise these issues frequently lapse into fictitious accounts of harmonious, if not ideal, racial relations which they claim existed below the Mason and Dixon Line prior to repudiation of separate schools in the region. Others remind us of rapid strides towards equality which have recentl…

This necessity is highlighted by the fact that the Soviet Union -has achieved a remarkable success in solving its minorities problems.'

Technological changes made during the war will certainly carry over into peacetime production. Developments in labor unions will influence employeremploy…

Training Negroes for Occupational Opportunities
The recent depression has concentrated attention of all thoughtful persons upon the problem of occupational opportunities. The fact that so large a percentage of our working population has not been able to find gainful employment during the last seven or eight years is being received with alarm. There are two features of this problem: one is the inability of our economic organization to absorb all workers who are capable and ready to work; the ot…

This program followed a long period of depression and partial recovery. At its inception there were millions unemployed, and Negroes were disproportionately represented among those without jobs.

Federal Aid, Local Control, and Negro Participation
anew the old problem of administrative control-centralized, or Federal, versus decentralized, or local. In such cooperative programs as public housing, social security, and education, which are financed jointly by Federal and local governments, this problem calls for certain definite and workable adjustments in accordance with our republican form of government. These adjustments are of the utmost importance to Negro citizens because the majority …
The Employment of the Negro in War Industries
Prior to the entrance of the United States in World War I the labor market received a severe shock. The needs of war production occasioned a sudden rise in demand for labor at the same time that the cessation of European migration interrupted the normal flow of industrial recruits. Later, the draft accentuated this shortage. In World War I the great need was for unskilled workers in heavy industry, and Negroes in rural and urban areas of the Sout…
