The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 17, 1990 - Page 7 Panel finds fw gains Dearborn Continued from Page 1 before the event to find someone willing to speak on the panel. They failed to find a speaker because of the I short notice they were given. "But the time factor was bad," said Kim Gasaway, President of the University of Dearborn's National Organization of Women. SAY IT IN THE ... DAILY * CLASSIFIEDS Wilson said the letter had nothing to do with the cancelling of the pro- gram. She said the committee was still trying to put the forum together the night before the event. "At 8:00 o'clock, the night be- fore the program, a subcommittee of students on their own was attempt- ing to put together a program that would represent the entire Univer- sity," she said. "A committee of adults and stu- dents were charged with representing the entire campus, and they weren't able to do it," Wilson said. "I could not represent their effort as some- thing the University could support." for Blacks since 1974 by Rob Kraft For fifty years, Blacks have seen both the high and low sides in their attempts to gain economic and social equality. These were some of the conclusions of 15 prominent re- searchers on the status of Black Americans between 1940 and 1987. Five of the researchers presented their results last night during a panel discussion at the Rackham Graduate School. In a packed conference room, three University professors, a Uni- versity of Wisconsin sociology pro- fessor, and Dolores Parron, of the U.S. Department of Health and Hu- man Services, each offered interpreta- tions on the findings of a recently published 600 page report, A Com- mon Destiny: Blacks and American Society. According to the report, Blacks were better off economically in the 40s and 60s, but since 1974, "the ,CL6SJFJED ADS economic status of Blacks relative to whites has, on average, stagnated or deteriorated." Psychology Prof. James Jackson, one of the authors of the report and moderator of the discussion, outlined- the general findings of the report. He said political and social activism of Blacks has led to an enhanced legal status for Blacks. But, he added, a resistance to social change by whites and the broader changes in the U.S. economy since 1974 have prevented Blacks from achieving full equality in society. Professor Jackson called the pe- riod between 1974 and 1990 a "retrogression" in the economic sta- tus of Blacks, explaining that a "substantial majority" of Blacks re- main impoverished. Sociology Professor Reynolds Farley agreed, citing evidence on the PERSONAL HAPPY 21ST B-DAY JEFF BACH From: Katrina, Bon Jodi, Rocky KKL, Eggloff, Cho Cho, Arnold 3rolsh, Reeeba and Nosetasha, kim, Kim, Kim, Kim Kim, The Creek Bennett, Sebastian, Yuille, Neempa, Peg ana Al, and Lance Utley. * * ATTENTION: Supreme Course Tran- scripts, the LS&A lecture notetaking service, has the following notes avail. at Alpha- graphics Printshops at 715 N.

He said one third of all Blacks today are below the poverty level of $12,000 with 11 percent for whites. Lawrence Bobo, professor of so- ciology at the University of Wiscon- sin, agreed, adding racial discrimina- tion as the primary cause of this dis- parity. While both Blacks and whites speak of the "broad goal of achieving an integrated society," he said, whites possess a "non-trivial sensi- tivity" toward integration and "fault Blacks for the problems" of inequal- ity. Bobo said there are differing and often opposing views between Blacks and whites on the definitions of equality and the reasons for a still largely segregated society. But he cited the various forms of racial dis- crimination by whites as the chief problem, saying that "no other so- cial factor is more important" in the history of Black-Americans.
