PORTLAND/OBSERVER Nov. 19, 1970 B la ck s Looked U pon A s ’U n w o rth y S o n s ’ "The black does not feel grateful, nor should he, for the limited and grudging effort made since World War II in his be half." So state Profs. Irving Ko- varsky and William Albrecht of the University of Iowa College of Business Administration in their book "Black Employment: The Impact of Religion, Econo mic Theory, Politics and Law," just published by Iowa State Un iversity P ress. T h e two professors have summarized the factors in those f o u r major fields which they feel are primarily responsible for the economic plight of the American black in 1970. Ko- varsky, who is in the Depart ment of Business Administra tion, and Albrecht, who is in the Department of Economics, felt they would have to cross the lines of academic study to ex plain the current situation. RACISM SUPPORTED T h e professors believe ra cism was supported in Ameri can life from the beginning of the nation by a religious system which saw blacks as the un worthy sons of Ham cited in the Old T e s t a m e n t , and which strove to avoid politics. Kovarsky and Albrecht noted that the situation for black work ers had a chance to improve in the 1930s as an indirect re sult of the Depression. As the f e d e r a l government assumed responsibility for action on un employment, a change in econo mic thinking resulted. Since blacks were on the bottom of the economy, they were benefi ciaries of changes not directly aimed at them the authors said. They concluded, "Too many in our society, educators in cluded, are uninterested in as suming responsibility for the patterns of prejudice that have developed over the years. With out dedication and resolution there can tie no end to racial strife ." Portland O.I.C.
