The first report, Equal Educational Opportunity for Blacks in U.S. Higher Education: An Assessment, found that blacks had made significant progress along several social indices but had not achieved full equality in higher education. More Promise than Progress is based on the analysis of information about blacks, but its findings may be applicable to other nonwhite minorities and to low-income groups of all races. The discussion is limited to blacks, however, because compared to other minorities and low-income groups the information on blacks is plentiful (although still incomplete and contradictory) and because blacks have historically occupied the lowest rungs on the American ladder of equal opportunity.
