"A wonderful improvement has occurred in America throughout the course of recent years: without precedent for the historical backdrop of the republic, genuinely enormous and developing quantities of American blacks have been moving into the working class, so at this point these numbers can sensibly be said to amount to a greater part of dark Americans - a thin larger part, however a larger part in any case. . .. It is genuine advancement, an enormous accomplishment; and to all appearances it is staying put."
-Ben J. Wattenberg and Richard M. Scammon, 19731
