survey showed some progress in increased income and
better living conditions and better educational standards
and more integration in the main stream of American
life for the middle class colored citizens, and while
this gives hope that we can solve these problems, yet
this report gives the grim figures which indicate how
far we must go before we can say that colored citizens
are receiving equal treatment under the law.
For nowhere in -the United States is income for
colored citizens equal to that of the white. In north-
central regions it is the highest, but it is only 70
percent.
In the south, which includes the states of the
old Confederacy as well as Maryland, D. C., Kentucky,
Oklahoma and West Virginia, it is only 51 percent.
The unemployment rate among colored citizens
is three times the national average and this survey found
that segregation in the cities has increased.
62 percent of Negro families live in the central
poverty areas of all of the large cities in the state
study, the poverty areas are determined by a family income
