Description: Continuing the interview in York, South Carolina, with members of the black community, Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick inquire about the employment or professional ambitions of African-Americans in the South. What jobs do they have, and what would they like to have? Has the general situation improved? To what specific differences can they point which constitute an improvement of the their position? Are conditions better in the North? If so, why do African-Americans continue to live in the South? How much of a role can the churches play in improving the situation? Is there a difference in attitude between the generations? As questions like these are discussed, Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick uncover a vivid picture of one of the nation’s most pressing problems.
