Paul Scott --
Dr. Carter G. DuBois was exhausted after pouring all of his energy into an hour long lecture on the colonization of Africa.

The median household income for blacks stands at $34,218; for whites, it's $55,530. Less than half of blacks own a home compared to three quarters of white families. Blacks are more than three times a...s likely to live in poverty.
