Yes.
The black poverty rate has dropped from more than 40% in the 1960s to about 27% today;
The fraction of black families with middle-class incomes rose almost 40 percentage points between 1940 and 1970,
The number of black college and university professors more than doubled between 1970 and 1990; the number of physicians tripled; the number of engineers almost quadrupled; and the number of attorneys increased more than sixfold.
Educate yourself djam.
