This research project examines mobility, satisfaction and power relations in black middle class families. The variables discussed are: (1) mobility patterns over three generations; (2) family structure; (3) the kinship help network; (4) decision-making patterns in the family; and (5) the level of satisfaction with their present family situation. Subjects were chosen from lists of Black churches, social and fraternal organizations, professional groups, voter precinct records, enrollments in preschool and elementary school programs, and door-to-door canvassing. Results are discussed in relation to the above variables. (Author/YRJ)
