Trends in Racial Inequalities: Have the Gains of the 1960s Disappeared in the 1970s?

Farley, Reynolds

American Sociological Review, 42, 2, 189-208, Apr 77

Investigation of recent trends in education, employment, occupations, family income and personal earnings shows that gains made by blacks in the 1960's did not disappear. Indeed, racial differences attenuated in the lean 1970's just as they did in the prosperous 1960's. Despite these improvements, racial differences remain large and will not disappear soon.
