Loss of the African cultural heritage and the requirements of slavery caused the Negro family to develop as a natural organization with the mother as head. After emancipation the family tended to assume an institutional character among those elements which had taken over the familial mores of the whites and those who had become homeowners. Urbanization, especially since the first World War, has caused considerable disorganization, since the family which evolved among the Negro folk could not function efficiently in the city. Important differences in the organization of the family and its approximation to the American pattern are related to the emerging class structure
