Beyond the Black Family: The Trend toward Singlehood.

Staples, Robert

Western Journal of Black Studies, v3 n3 p150-56 Fall 1979

The percentage of single individuals is rising, especially among Blacks. Based on the present trend, one can predict that by the year 1980 the majority of Black adults will be unmarried. The acceptance by Black men and women of certain Euro-American values exacerbates this trend. (RLV)
