Alice M. Yohalem
William Booth, the New York Commissioner of Human Rights, interviews Alice Yohalem, co-author (with Eli Ginzberg) of the book _The Middle-Class Negro in the White Man's World_.
The book is the result of a five-year Columbia University study where high school and first-year middle-class black college students were interviewed about aspirations and hopes for the future. The students, from New York and Atlanta, expressed surprisingly optimistic attitudes, very similar to those of middle-class white students.
Ms. Yohalem expresses the concern that the data may already be obsolete, due to the major social upheavals of the previous five years.
