Blacks in America in the mid-20th Century led a revolution that forever changed the structure of this society. Yet, in many ways the black community has benefitted least from this revolution. Whereas there has been considerable progress as a result of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, blacks have yet to achieved full equality in America. In fact, on many indicators the argument can be made that blacks have actually lost ground. Racism is still a reality in America and blacks continue to bear the brunt of it. It is clear that past approaches to black community issues are insufficient to address present and future realities. Accordingly, this volume will highlight innovative and multi-disciplinary research with an emphasis on policy implications. Topics for papers might include:
