One-Third of a Nation: African American Perspectives
Edited by Lorenzo Morris and Ura Jean Oyemade Bailey


By the year 2000, minorities, chiefly Hispanics and African Americans, will constitute one-third of the population of this nation. Against that demographic background, One-Third of a Nation presents a collection of essays that give a historical overview, outline current situations, and propose solutions for areas of major concerns in African-American life, such as employment, housing, health care, and political participation.

Howard University Press is proud to make One-Third of a Nation: African American Perspectives available to a 21st-century audience.

Dr. Morris is associate professor, Department of Political Science, Howard University. Dr. Bailey is professor, School of Education, and director, Center for Drug Abuse Research, Howard University.
