Description: This bulletin was intended to "acquaint the general public with the existing social and economic conditions within the race, and to give a general picture of the historical background of the Negro in North Carolina." It was also designed to inform the public about various resources and agencies in place to deal with the problems blacks commonly experienced. The report draws from census and other governmental data highlighting differences and similarities between races, sexes, geographic location, and other factors. Much of the data is presented as comparative statistics, charts and tables.
