Although the University made a
commitment to increase black
enrollment to 10 percent by 1973, a

Local minority problems must be
solved from an international perspec-

Black immigrants make up 3 percent
of the total population in the U.S.
today said Sociology Prof. Walter

New York City, he said.

advantage over black Americans
because those who are able to im-
migrate come from wealthier

Americans face several disadvantages
in striving for and maintaining top-
positions in the job market, he said.
