BLACK AMERICANS REMAIN DISADVANTAGED BY RACIAL INEQUALITY 50 YEARS AFTER KERNER COMMISSIONCompiled by staff of the MilwaukeeIndependent.com

5050 years after the Kerner Commission deliv-ered a report to President Johnson examiningthe causes of civil unrest in African Americancommunities, a new study by the Economic Pol-icy Institute (EPI) compares the state of blackworkers and their families in 1968 with the eco-nomic circumstances African Americans facetoday.The review found that while African Americans today are much better educated

than they were in 1968—and in many ways better off in absolute terms than theywere in 1968—they are still economically disadvantaged relative to whites.“Black Americans have clearly put a tremendous amount of personal effort into

improving their social and economic standing, but that effort only goes so far whenyou’re working within structures that were never intended to give equal outcomes,”said Wilson, Director of EPI’s Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy.Key findings in the comprehensive review included:African Americans today are much better educated than they were in 1968 but

still lag behind whites in overall educational attainment. More than 90 percent ofyounger African Americans (ages 25 to 29) have graduated from high school,compared with just over half in 1968—which means they’ve nearly closed the gapwith white high school graduation rates. They are also more than twice as likelyto have a college degree as in 1968 but are still half as likely as young whites tohave a college degree.The substantial progress in educational attainment of African Americans has

been accompanied by significant absolute improvements in wages, incomes,wealth, and health since 1968. But black workers still make only 82.5 cents on every dollar earned by white

workers, African Americans are 2.5 times as likely to be in poverty as whites, andthe median white family has almost 10 times as much wealth as the median blackfamily.With respect to homeownership, unemployment, and incarceration, America has

failed to deliver any progress for African Americans over the last five decades. Inthese areas, their situation has either failed to improve relative to whites or hasworsened. In 2017 the black unemployment rate was 7.5 percent, up from 6.7 percent in

1968, and is still roughly twice the white unemployment rate. In 2015, the blackhomeownership rate was just over 40 percent, virtually unchanged since 1968,and trailing a full 30 points behind the white homeownership rate, which saw mod-est gains over the same period. And the share of African Americans in prison or jail almost tripled between 1968

and 2016 and is currently more than six times the white incarceration rate.“Especially relative to the increases in educational attainment, America has

failed African Americans over the last five decades,” said John Schmitt, EPI VicePresident.

Educational AttainmentThe most important development since 1968 is that African Americans today

are much better educated than they were in 1968. These absolute improvementsin educational attainment—including substantial increases in both high school andcollege completion rates—have opened important doors for black workers com-pared with their counterparts 50 years ago. In relative terms, African Americanstoday are almost as likely as whites to have completed high school. But even though the share of younger African Americans with a college degree

has more than doubled, African Americans today are still only about half as likelyto have a college degree as whites of the same age.

High school graduation rates. Over the last five decades, African Americanshave seen substantial gains in high school completion rates. In 1968, just overhalf (54.4 percent) of 25- to 29-year-old African Americans had a high schooldiploma. Today, more than nine out of 10 African Americans (92.3 percent) in the

same age range had a highschool diploma.The large increase in high

school completion rates helpedto close the gap relative towhites. In 1968, African Americans

trailed whites by more than 20percentage points (75.0 per-cent of whites had completedhigh school, compared with54.4 percent of blacks). In the most recent data, the

gap is just 3.3 percentagepoints (95.6 percent for whitesversus 92.3 percent for AfricanAmericans).

College Graduation RatesCollege graduation rates

have also improved for AfricanAmericans. Among 25- to 29-year-olds,

less than one in 10 (9.1 per-cent) had a college degree in1968, a figure that has climbedto almost one in four (22.8 per-cent) today.Over the same period, how-

ever, college completion ex-panded for whites at a similarpace, rising from 16.2 percent

in 1968 to 42.1 percent today,leaving the relative situation ofAfrican Americans basically un-changed: in 1968 blacks werejust over half (56.0 percent) aslikely as whites to have a col-lege degree, a situation that is

essentially the same today(54.2 percent).UnemploymentThe unemployment rate for

African Americans in 2017 (thelast full year of data) was 7.5percent, 0.8 percentage pointshigher than it was in 1968 (6.7percent). The unemploymentrate for whites was 3.8 percentin 2017 and 3.2 percent in1968.The unemployment data for

these two years, almost 50years apart, demonstrate alongstanding and unfortunateeconomic regularity: the unem-ployment rate for black workersis consistently about twice ashigh as it is for white workers.

Hourly WagesThe inflation-adjusted hourly

wage of the typical blackworker rose 30.5 percent be-tween 1968 and 2016, or about0.6 percent per year. This slow rate of growth is

particularly disappointing giventhe large increase in educa-

tional attainment amongAfrican Americans over thesedecades.Even slower real wage

growth (about 0.2 percent peryear) for the typical whiteworker—albeit starting from ahigher initial wage—meant thatAfrican Americans did mod-estly close the racial wage gapover the last five decades. But, in 2016, by the hourly

wage measure used here, thetypical black worker still onlymade 82.5 cents on every dol-lar earned by the typical whiteworker.

Household IncomeThe inflation-adjusted annual

income of the typical AfricanAmerican household increased42.8 percent between 1968and 2016, slightly outpacing in-come growth for the typicalwhite household (36.7 per-cent). But the typical black house-

hold today still receives only

61.6 percent of the annual in-come received by the typicalwhite household.

Poverty RatesThe share of African Ameri-

cans living in poverty has de-clined substantially in the lastfive decades. Using the official federal

poverty measure as a bench-mark, over one-third (34.7 per-cent) of African Americanswere in poverty in 1968. Today,the share in poverty is just overone in five (21.4 percent). For whites, the decline in the

poverty rate was much smaller,from 10.0 percent in 1968 to8.8 percent in 2016. In the most recent data,

African Americans are about2.5 times as likely to be inpoverty as whites. (In 1968,they were 3.5 times as likely tobe in poverty.)

Family WealthThe typical black family had

almost no wealth in 1968($2,467; data refer to 1963). Today, that figure is about six

times larger ($17,409), but it isstill not that far from zero whenyou consider that families typi-cally draw on their wealth forlarger expenses, such asmeeting basic needs over thecourse of retirement, paying fortheir children’s college educa-tion, putting a down paymenton a house, or coping with ajob loss or medical crisis.Over the same period, the

wealth of the typical white fam-ily almost tripled, from a muchhigher initial level. In 2016, themedian African American fam-ily had only 10.2 percent of thewealth of the median whitefamily ($17,409 versus$171,000).

HomeownershipOne of the most important

forms of wealth for working andmiddle-class families is homeequity. Yet, the share of black

households that owned theirown home remained virtuallyunchanged between 1968(41.1 percent) and today (41.2percent). Over the same period, home-

ownership for white house-holds increased 5.2percentage points to 71.1 per-cent, about 30 percentagepoints higher than the owner-ship rate for black households.

Infant MortalityOver the last five decades,

African Americans have expe-rienced enormous improve-ments in infant mortality rates.The number of deaths per1,000 live births has fallen from34.9 in 1968 to 11.4 in the mostrecent data. Over the same period, whites

have also seen dramatic re-ductions in infant mortality, withrates falling from 18.8 to 4.9 bythe same measure.In relative terms, however,

African Americans have fallenbehind. In 1968, black infants

were about 1.9 times as likelyto die as white infants. Today,the rate is 2.3 times higher forAfrican Americans.

Life ExpectancyAfrican Americans’ life ex-

pectancy at birth has also in-

creased substantially (up 11.5years) between 1968 andtoday, outpacing the increasefor whites (up 7.5 years). But an African American born

today can, on average, still ex-pect to live about 3.5 feweryears than a white person born

on the same day.IncarcerationThe share of African Ameri-

cans in prison or jail almosttripled between 1968 (604 ofevery 100,000 in the total pop-ulation) and 2016 (1,730 per

About the Kerner CommissionThe National Advisory Commission on CivilDisorders, known as the Kerner Commissionafter its chair, Governor Otto Kerner, Jr. of Illi-nois, was an 11-member commission estab-lished by President Lyndon B. Johnson inExecutive Order 11365 to investigate thecauses of the 1967 race riots in the UnitedStates and to provide recommendations forthe future. Two of the 11 members of the commission were Black: Massa-

chusetts U.S. Senator Edward Brooke and Roy Wilkins, executivedirector of the NAACP. There was one woman on the commission, Katherine Graham

Peden, commissioner of commerce for the state of Kentucky.President Johnson appointed the commission on July 28, 1967,

while rioting was still underway in Detroit, Michigan. Mounting civil unrest since 1965 had spawned riots in the black

and Latino neighborhoods of major U.S. cities, including Los An-geles (Watts riots of 1965), Chicago (Division Street Riots of 1966[the first Puerto Rican riot in US History]), and Newark (1967Newark riots). In his remarks upon signing the order establishing the Com-

mission, Johnson asked for answers to three basic questionsabout the riots: "What happened? Why did it happen? What canbe done to prevent it from happening again and again?"The Commission's final report, the Report of the National Advi-

sory Commission on Civil Disorders or Kerner Report, was re-leased on February 29, 1968, after seven months of investigation. The report became an instant bestseller, and over two million

Americans bought copies of the 426-page document. Its findingwas that the riots resulted from black frustration at lack of eco-nomic opportunity. Martin Luther King Jr. pronounced the report a "physician's

warning of approaching death, with a prescription for life."The report berated federal and state governments for failed

housing, education and social-service policies. The report alsoaimed some of its sharpest criticism at the mainstream media."The press has too long basked in a white world looking out of it,if at all, with white men's eyes and white perspective."—Source:Wikipedia.og.

100,000).The share of whites in prison or jail has also

increased dramatically, but from a much lowerbase. In 1968, about 111 of every 100,000whites were incarcerated. In the most recent data, the share has in-

creased to 270 per 100,000.In 1968, African Americans were about 5.4

times as likely as whites to be in prison or jail.Today, African Americans are 6.4 times as likely

as whites to be incarcerated, which is especiallytroubling given that whites are also much morelikely to be incarcerated now than they were in1968.“It’s clear that structural racism that is the root

cause of this economic inequality,” said JanelleJones, EPI economic analyst. “Solutions must be bold and to scale, which

means we need structural change that elimi-nates the barriers that have stymied economicprogress for generations of African Americanworkers.”

tional Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders[4] orKerner Report, was released on February 29, 1968, afterseven months of investigation. The report became an in-stant bestseller, and over two million Americans boughtcopies of the 426-page document. Its finding was that theriots resulted from black frustration at lack of economicopportunity. Martin Luther King Jr. pronounced the reporta "physician's warning of approaching death, with a pre-scription for life."[2]The report berated federal and state governments for

failed housing, education and social-service policies. Thereport also aimed some of its sharpest criticism at themainstream media. "The press has too long basked in awhite world looking out of it, if at all, with white men's eyesand white perspective."The report's most famous passage warned, "Our nation

is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal."Its results suggested that one main cause of urban vio-

lence was white racism and suggested that white Americabore much of the responsibility for black rioting and rebel-lion. It called to create new jobs, construct new housing, and

put a stop to de facto segregation in order to wipe out thedestructive ghetto environment. In order to do so, the report recommended for govern-

ment programs to provide needed services, to hire morediverse and sensitive police forces and, most notably, toinvest billions in housing programs aimed at breaking upresidential segregation.Among other points, the Commission's suggestions in-

cluded:"Unless there are sharp changes in the factors influenc-

ing Negro settlement patterns within metropolitan areas,there is little doubt that the trend toward Negro majoritieswill continue.""Providing employment for the swelling Negro ghetto

population will require ...opening suburban residentialareas to Negroes and encouraging them to move closer toindustrial centers...""...cities will have Negro majorities by 1985 and the sub-

urbs ringing them will remain largely all white unless thereare major changes in Negro fertility rates, in migration set-tlement patterns or public policy.""...we believe that the emphasis of the program should

be changed from traditional publicly built slum based highrise projects to smaller units on scattered sites."The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration re-

leased federal funding for local police forces in response.Appointed by Johnson to serve as the commission's exec-utive director, David Ginsburg played a pivotal role in writ-ing the commission's findings.
