“Racial discrimination continues despite the victories of the civil rights movement. Yet, the problems faced today by Blacks who are isolated from the economic and social progress are less directly open to political amelioration than were the problems of legal segregation and the widely practice overt discrimination of a few decades past. . . If all racial discrimination were abolished today, the life prospects facing many poor African-Americans would still constitute major challenges for public policy.”
