in education, in securing better
jobs, and in higher family income.
But most of the economic progress
has been confined to relatively few
blacks with the education and
skills to take advantage of the
waning discrimination in industry.
What ought to be of greater
concern is that one out of three
black people are poor; that nearly
half of all black children are
growing up in poor families, and
that the typical black family last
year earned about $700 less than
the government itself says is the
minimum acceptable living stand
ard.
There are- about ten million
people — whites and blacks — who
work all year round for less than
$5,000. Athird of all black full-time
workers make less than a living
wage. And these are the lucky
ones, the people with jobs.
What about those who aren't
lucky enough to find a job? The
government says there are 4.3
million of them. But that is only
because the government counts
only people actively looking for
work who can't find it.
The fact is that there are
millions of people who are not
ployed because they have given up
looking for work, or because they
are working part time, even
though they may prefer to hold
full-time jobs. If you add these
discouraged job-seekers and
under-employed workers to the
officially unemployed, you'll find

million unemployed people, over
two million of them black.
Instead of the official rate of 4.8
percent unemployed, a more
accurate picture shows ten percent
of the labor force out of work, with
a twenty percent rate for black
workers.
This grim reality has been
hidden behind doctored statistics,
misleading rhetoric about a
supposedly booming economy, and
other diversionary issues. But it is
clear that the economy doesn't
seem able to provide everyone
with work, and it is time this issue
came out into the open and the
nation started a great debate on
what should be its number one
priority — a full employment
policy.
Next week I'll discuss some of
the steps that could be taken to put
America back to work.
Presently offering
only master’s
program in the state in
the driver-safety field, the
A&T faculty has also
approved plans to train
subjects, however, em
ployment is usually twelve
months rather than nine
or ten.
By September 1, 1974,
all new driver-safety
instructors must possess
a major in this field while
in-service teachers must
become fully certified by
September 1, 1977.

smart outfits, or something in
between, they are a welcome sight.
In the mornings, on the subway
trains, they give a tone to the day.
Each evening some of them revive
the drooping spirits. The point is
they look so good in the main (even
the outlandish ones are trying
hard) that civil rights people
should pause in their reading to
register the pleasant picture.
The Negro woman is today, as
she has always been, in the
forefront of her race's battle for
dignity and equality. There used to
be a generation of housekeepers
and handymen who pushed and
carried the race forward. Today it
is this crop of young people in
every state who are helping
mightily to do the job. Sometimes
some of them lose their manners
and go off the street language end,
but most of the time they are
hanging in there. They use every
weapon that women have used so
effectively in past centuries:
reticence and boldness, a body and
a brain, laughter and love.
In their blossoming in recent
years black women have removed,
for the most part, the remnants of
the idea that some men were
different from others merely
because of color. Some do have
access to wealth and power, but
underneath itall they are basically
the same. Thus unhampered,
black women can go on with the
business of getting ahead in this
world.
Hs there been progress since the
march on Washington? A look at
black students on any campus, a
study of Negro women in any rural
or urban center, a study of the
unfinished battle upward in
employment — all these will
answer "yes", even if the rate of
improvement has been less than it
should have been.
Civil rights people do not have to
frown all the time. They ought to
scan any group of black women.
There they will find pleasant and
inspiring answers to all "heavy"
questions in bright unafraid eyes,
firmly rounded legs, correct
hair-dos, and well-cared-for nails.
Statistics are for sober times.
