- Description:
- Newspaper article describing that Black voter participation in national elections was declining steadily during the 1970s, even as the number of Black elected officials on the state and local levels soared. There were a number of reasons for this decline, including cynicism about the political process and a lack of faith that government would respond to the needs of Black voters. Despite this decline, Black voters still possessed the opportunity to play a decisive role in the 1976 presidential election, particularly in key industrial states. 1 page.
