The work was prepared by the Committee on the Status of Black Americans, which was charged by the Commission to \"...marshall descriptive data on the changing position of Blacks in American society since 1940;...and explore the consequences, anticipated and unanticipated, of public and private initiatives to ameliorate the position of Blacks in America.\" Topics included health, racial attitudes, identity, political participation, economics, education, and crime. Authors of these papers included Derrick Bell, Clayborne Carson, Henry Louis Gates, Henry F. Jackson, Martin Kilson, Julianne Malveaux, and Richard J. Powell. The chair of the committee was Robin M. Williams, Jr., and Gerald David Jaynes was the study director; both served as editors of the final report.</p>"}
