Recent publications heralding “substantial black economic gains” in the sixties are found to share a common preoccupation with gaps (rather than distributions) and to rely on a common methodology. We contend that their findings are, at least in part, an artifact of their method. A new measure of trends in income inequality is developed, resulting in quite different findings. The substantive implications of the pattern of actual gains and losses is discussed
