James Q. Wilson
December 2005
Abstract
Conservatives and others need to take a hard look at what the civil rights revolution has produced. Many blacks have made striking gains. But the extraordinary efforts of government, private enterprise, and educators have not stemmed the rise of single-parent black families and the problems associated with those families. Data from New Orleans provides some evidence of the problems that remain.
