Perhaps the biggest domestic tragedy of the mid to late 20th century was the demise of black families socially, educationally and culturally. Enslavement positioned black families to lag behind other ethnic groups for decades because of a lack of comparable economic and educational opportunities. Unfortunately, the 1960’s rising drug culture and federal mandates that wouldn’t allow male head of households to live on the premises of households receiving welfare assistance were critical contributors to the current status of black families in America. Both continue to play havoc on this community resulting in high rates of incarceration, continuous elevated school dropouts, and the fracturing and break-up of “traditional” African American nuclear family units. This devastating trend has continued to this present time.
