Here, he describes the demands of his position, his accomplishments, and his management style. He also reflects on the state of the black community and its waning investment in education. While he does not explicitly connect the declining value of education in the black community to desegregation, he describes his attempts to replicate the efforts of the black principal of the segregated high school he himself attended, hoping to motivate his black students. In doing so, he seeks to become a role model for black students who, not seeing blacks in positions of influence, are not motivated to earn their high school degrees. The legacies of racism are not the only challenges Barbour faces as a high school principal, he sees a rapidly changing society that is producing children without focus or maturity; but he hopes that his management style will create an atmosphere that cultivates diligence. Researchers interested in learning about his style and the challenges of his job that are not related to race, history, and desegregation should not limit themselves to the excerpts.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American school principals--North Carolina--Whiteville","High school principals--North Carolina--Whiteville","High schools--North Carolina--Whiteville--Administration","African Americans--Education (Secondary)--North Carolina"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Coleman Barbour, February 16, 1991"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Defreece started teaching in integrated schools in the 1960s, so she does not believe that desegregation affected her career a great deal. Her boundary crossing came years later, when she became Lumberton's first black female principal. She seems to purposely avoid talking about race, preferring instead to focus on the challenges of educational leadership outside of a racial context. She does worry, however, about \"losing\" male black students, who cause a disproportionate number of discipline problems. She concludes the interview with a call to black men to act as role models. Defreece's thoughts on race and education may be useful to researchers interested in race in a post-desegregation environment.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American high school principals--North Carolina","African American women school principals--North Carolina--Lumberton","High schools--North Carolina--Lumberton--Administration","Education, Secondary--North Carolina--Lumberton","Student-administrator relationships--North Carolina--Lumberton"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Loistine Defreece, February 16, 1991"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Pollitt. In this interview, Pollitt discusses his thoughts on race and athletics at UNC, as well as his involvement in student activism during the late 1950s and 1960s. Pollitt begins the interview by discussing the impact of the recruitment of African American athletes, like Charlie Scott -- the first African American athlete to attend UNC on scholarship -- and Bill Chamberlain. After describing how UNC's football coach was reluctant to recruit African American athletes on scholarship, Pollitt describes how he worked alongside Dean Smith as the faculty advisor to the campus NAACP to recruit Scott in the late 1960s. (Note: Pollitt says numerous times in the interview that Scott, and later Chamberlain, came to UNC in the late 1950s, but it was actually during the late 1960s.) Pollitt discusses how lingering racial tensions and discrimination in the broader community played a decisive factor in the recruitment of African American athletes. He devotes considerable attention to his work as a leader of the student YMCA-YWCA during the late 1950s and 1960s. Pollitt explains how the student Y was the center of student activism on campus during those years and describes in detail how he helped to organize Vietnam war protests among UNC students, even chartering buses to take students from UNC to Washington, D.C., to lobby their local legislators about the war and to participate in anti-war demonstrations. The interview concludes with Pollitt's brief discussion of his work with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which he elaborates on in later interviews.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Law teachers--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","Discrimination in sports--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","College integration--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","African American college athletes--North Carolina--Chapel Hill","University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill--Basketball","University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In this interview, he answers questions from the interviewer's checklist about the challenges of his position, his management style, and the details of his job. Mask does not talk explicitly about race and education a great deal, but his experiences as an educator in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s were marked by segregation. Among the most difficult challenges he faced was a lack of resources, and he was forced to find ways to fund basic services without help from the county. With help from the PTA and parents, he managed to create a cafeteria in the school's basement, supply the school with books and desks, and form a band and a basketball team. Desegregation brought more resources to the school, but also a new set of challenges, including heightened tensions with a segregationist superintendent. This interview provides a useful look at one black principal's efforts to provide for a school neglected by a racist policy.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["African American school principals--North Carolina--Hamlet","School principals--North Carolina","African American schools--North Carolina--Hamlet","High schools--North Carolina--Hamlet--Administration","African Americans--Segregation--North Carolina--Hamlet"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with J.

The special meeting was called as a result of a petition signed by fifty (50) citizens in accordance with Board policy. The president, Mrs. o. G. Jacovelli, presided. MEMBERS PRESENT: Mrs. O. G. Jacovelli Mr. John Moore Ms. Pat Gee Mr. Willie D. (Bill) Hamilton Mrs. Robin Armstrong Mr. Dorsey Jackson MEMBERS ABSENT: Dr. Katherine Mitchell EX OFFICIO MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Scott Morgan, Teacher Representative ALSO PRESENT: Dr. Ruth S. Steele, Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Pat Kumpuris, Recorder of the Minutes CALL TO ORDER: ROLL CALL: The president called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. The roll call revealed the presence of six (6) Board members. PURPOSE OF SPECIAL MEETING: The chair announced that the special meeting had been called in response to a petition from 50 citizens. Mrs. Jacovelli called on Mrs. Eleanor Coleman, president of the Little Rock Classroom Teachers Association. Mrs. Coleman told the Board that she assumed the position as president of the LRCTA with a number of goals, one of which was to bring harmony within the ranks of our members and the administration. She briefly reviewed her goals and told the Board that she would like to get back to work on those goals. She asked that the Board reconsider its vote of last week and allow the LRCTA to conduct a representative election. She reviewed her perception of the misunderstanding concerning campaigning on District property and assured the Board that she never intended to violate District policy nor did she conduct her business with malice. She further assured the Board that if it votes to allow the election, the policy will be followed. Mr. Frank Martin informed the Board that the sentiments expressed by Mrs. Coleman were the sentiments of all the union representatives and members. He told the Board that the LRCTA try to represent its members as well as it can and all they want is to be treated with dignity and respect. He told the Board that he fully understood management's responsibility. He asked the Board to give the ESP personnel a chance to choose their spokesman relative to hours, wages, and working conditions. Board members asked questions, following which Dr. Steele told the Board and audience that she appreciated the acknowledgment by Mrs. Coleman and Mr. Martin that District policy will be adhered to. She assured the Board that the administration will abide by it and the administration will enforce it. She reiterated that the situation the administration finds itself is that it is obligated to enforce the policies of the Board and it can't be selective in which ones it enforces and which ones it doesn't enforce. Dr. Steele recommended that the Board declare a thirty (30) day period starting today when no one says anything except for the fact that the investigation of the transportation department will continue. At the end of the thirty days the administration will provide to LRCTA a list of names and addresses of ESP employees derived from our payroll, which means that they should be as up to date as possible at that particular time. Then assuming that there are no violations of district policy, we will hold an election sixty days from today, which will actually be December 2 because that is the Monday, the closest time that the election can be held\nthat the campaign will be conducted according to Board policy and that Brady Gadberry and Frank Martin work out the details as to the voting procedures and present a recommendation for us to consider. In the meantime, an investigation of the Transportation Department will continue down two tracks: one will be an internal track where specific allegations will be investigated, and in fact that investigation is already proceeding by some individuals who are employed by our District in other departments they are investigating the charges that have been alleged and were alleged in the last meeting. Those include such things as sexual harassment, favoritism, and discouragement to join the union. The second track is a public track and that involves an evaluation of management practices and employee relations at the Transportation Department. For the last several days I have been involved in the process of selecting a committee to assist with that investigation, and I have asked several people to help us. There are two who have committed as of today to be on the committee and the others will let me know tomorrow or the next day as we form a balanced committee in terms of race and sex of people who are prepared to deal with the intricacies of the management of a large department, but two of the people who have committed to serve on that committee will be Mahlon Martin and Woodson Walker. Others will be added tomorrow. We will ask that they conduct as thorough investigation as they possibly can\nthat they talk with a number of people\nthat they issue findings of fact\nand that they come to us with some recommendations around those two broad areas. In the meantime between now and December 2, I think I have outlined generally what is supposed to be done during the sixty day period. The thirty days during which the campaign will be conducted between the end of October and the first of December should be done strictly according to Board policy and then the election can be held on December 2. In the meantime also, the policies of the previous contract and the provisions of the previous contract which the Board voted to leave in effect until such time as a new contract was established with the exception of grievance timelines and termination timelines will continue. That is my recommendation to the Board. Mr. John Moore moved the Superintendent's recommendation. Mr. Dorsey Jackson seconded the motion, and following discussion, it carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come within the call for the special meeting, the meeting adjourned at 6:26 p.m. upon motion by Mr. Moore, a second by Mr. Hamilton, and unanimous approval by the Board members. 1li,President Pat Gee, Secretary Approved:_/_/,_ _J_~ /~-9,~1/_ LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT 810 WEST MARKHAM STREET LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS SPECIAL MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1991 The Board of Directors of the Little Rock School District met in a lawfully-called special meeting at 6:04 p.m. on October 17, 1991, in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 819 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas.

Santi Ms. Mary A. McGehee Division of Demographic Research University of Arkansas at Little Rock Little Rock, AR 72204 501-569-8571 q February 9, 1991 q The present note is the fifth in a series of reports produced by UALR's Division of Demographic Research over the past couple of weeks on population change in the State and counties of Arkansas, q as reflected in recently released data from the 1990 Census of the Population. q q In the first note, we analyzed patterns of overall change from 1980 to 1990 in the population of Arkansas counties, and in a second installment, we decomposed these patterns of overall population change into portions attributable to natural increase (the excess of births over deaths), on the one hand, and to net Our third and fourth notes were q migration, on the other. concerned with population change among the two major racial groups in the State, showing first, how overall population growth rates differed between whites and blacks, and second, how the racial composition of Arkansas counties changed over the 1980s. qq In the present note, we merge these two lines of inquiry with race-specific decompositions of overall population growth in Arkansas counties into natural increase and net migration components (i.e., we perform such decompositions separately for the white and the black populations of the State). qq The logic of these decompositions is quite simple. We begin with the 1980 Census count of persons of a given race living in a particular county. We calculate a \"natural increase\" component by subtracting the number of deaths occurring to persons of that race over the decade from the number of births occurring to women of that race. Adding the natural increase component to the initial 1980 population gives us an \"expected\" 1990 population, which is then compared to the \"actual\" 1990 Census count to arrive at an estimated \"net migration\" component. 1 We recall that the recently released 1990 Census count of persons of all races showed an overall population growth for the State as a whole of 2.8%, which was decomposed into a 5.1% growth due to natural increase and a 2.3% loss due to net outmigration. I When we examine these numbers separately for whites and blacks, we see significant differences between the two racial groupings. The white population of the State of Arkansas experienced 2.9% overall growth during the 1980s, attributable to a 3.7% natural increase and net outmigration of 0.8 '6  By way of contrast, the black population experienced no overall growth during the 1980s (a measured increase of 144 persons, which constitutes 0.0% of the State's 1980 black population), due to the countervailing effects of 12.0% natural increase and 12.0% net outmigration. In the balance of this report, we examine population growth and its components at the county level, separately for whites and for blacks. Population Change and Its Components Among Whites The data on which this discussion is based are presented in 4 Each of the Tables lA, IB, IC, and ID, and Maps lA, IB, and IC. four tables contains the same basic information, and differ only in the order in which counties are listed. In Table lA, counties 4 4 are listed in alphabetical order, while in Tables IB, IC, and ID, counties are sorted in order of percentage change in population, percentage natural increase, and percentage net migration, respectively. Tables IB, IC, and ID present the detailed data that are presented in broader categories in Maps lA, IB, and IC, respectively. As far as overall change in the white population of Arkansas counties is concerned, the relevant data are presented in Table Thirty-nine of the State's 75 counties (just over IB and Map lA. ' _ half) experienced white population growth, while the remaining 36 experienced decreases. The greatest increases occurred in Faulkner, Benton, and Saline Counties, all of which experienced The I white population growth of 20% or more over the 1980s. greatest decreases were observed in the Delta counties of Phillips and Lee, each of which experienced white population 1 declines of approximately 20%. The major portion of white population growth in the State of Arkansas occurred in a northwestern quadrant delimited by drawing lines north and west from Lonoke County. Indeed, within this general area, only the counties of Pulaski, Newton, Conway, and Searcy experienced overall white population losses during the Outside of this northwestern quadrant, the counties of 1980s. Grant and Craighead also experienced fairly strong white population growth. Decreases were observed in the white populations of most counties in eastern and southern Arkansas, including those counties commonly referred to as Delta counties. Having reviewed patterns of overall growth and decline in the white population of Arkansas counties, we now turn to an examination of the specific demographic forces underlying these migration. patterns of overall change, i.e., natural increase and net \\ 1 . Data on patterns of natural increase are presented in Table IC and Map IB, while net migration data are displayed in M i i Table ID and Map IC. 2q Focussing first on patterns of natural increase, we observe that 57 of Arkansas' 75 counties (76%) experienced positive natural increase (i.e., more births than deaths) within their white populations. The overwhelming majority of these counties saw \"slight\" rates of natural increase, i.e., rates of less than \"Moderate\" rates of natural increase among whites (5.0% to 5.0%. q 9.9%) were observed in 12 of the State's more metropolitan counties. 7 '  ' '' ' --i-ij 10.0%. In no county did natural increase among whites exceed q Slight natural decreases among the white population (i.e., more deaths than births) were observed in 18 counties, the greatest The counties q being the 5.6% decrease seen in Baxter County, experiencing natural decrease were, of course, counties with \"older\" populations. q Despite the fact that 52.0% of Arkansas counties experienced growth in their white populations during the 1980s, only 41.3% the q (31 counties) experienced net inmigration of whites\nremaining 44 counties (58.7%) experienced net outmigration of whites. The counties of Faulkner, Benton, and Baxter experienced the highest rates of net white inmigration, all with 10-year inmigration rates of 19% or more. q At the other extreme were the Delta counties of Desha, Chicot, Phillips, and Lee, all of which experienced net white q outmigration of 19% or more. Indeed, all eastern or Delta  counties, with the exceptions of Lonoke, Greene, and Craighead, i experienced net outmigration of their white populations during These findings suggest that the lack of economic the 1980s. 1 q opportunities in the Delta affects whites as well as blacks, even though the economic status of whites who remain in the Delta is significantly better than that of their black counterparts. q This preliminary review suggests three distinctive \"types\" or \"patterns\" of population change among the white population of the q State of Arkansas. The first of these might be called the q \"metropolitan growth\" pattern, in which population growth is fueled both by solid rates of natural increase and strong net inmigration. The experiences of Faulkner and Benton Counties, the two fastest growing counties in the State, best exemplify this first growth pattern. The second basic pattern of white population change might be called the \"rural loss\" pattern, in which population declines occur as a result of strong forces of outmigration overwhelming lower rates of natural increase. This pattern is characteristic of most counties in eastern and southern Arkansas. A third pattern might be referred to as the \"older growth\" pattern, in which population growth is based exclusively on net inmigration offsetting the effects of negligible or even negative natural increase. this pattern of growth. Baxter and Cleburne Counties are exemplars of 3F In setting forth these three basic \"growth scenarios\", wenote that in no case does significant overall growth in the white population (i.e., growth of 5.0% or more) occur in the absence of net inmigration. Natural increase or decrease can enhance or retard overall rates of population growth for whites, but patterns of net migration appear to be the main driving force of population change among whites in the State of Arkansas.

I At the level of counties, increases in the overall size of the black population were observed in only 6 of the 35 counties for which data are available. (See Table 2B and Map 2A, and Note 1 I for a discussion of data limitations for the black population.) The remaining 29 counties (82.9% of the counties for which data are available) experienced decreases in their black populations I over the 1980s. (Note 1 also reminds us that these 35 counties I encompass 92% of the total black population of the State of Arkansas, so that these 35 counties provide fairly complete coverage of the black population.) The greatest increases in black populations occurred in Howard and Pulaski Counties, with black population growth of 17.4% and i 13.3%, respectively. Lincoln County experienced a 2.9% increase i in its black population during the 1980s, while Crittenden, Union, and Jefferson Counties experienced increases of under 1.0%. I At the other end of the continuum, 10 counties experienced overall black population declines of 10.0% or more, with the greatest decrease occurring in Monroe County, with a 22.9% drop. I a As we examine the demographic dynamics underlying these patterns of overall population change, we begin to see that the demographic experiences of whites and blacks in the State of Arkansas over the past decade are qualitatively as well as quantitatively different. I First, all 35 counties for which data are available showed natural increase (an excess of births over deaths) among their none showed natural decrease (an excess of black populations\ndeaths over births). (See Table 2C and Map 2B.) This contrasts with the experience of the white populations of Arkansas counties, of which 76.0% showed natural increase and 24.0% showed natural decrease. For the State as a whole, the total population (i.e., all races) showed a natural increase of 5.1%. For the black population, only three counties (Bradley, Hot Spring, and Calhoun) showed natural increase below that level. The highest rates of black natural increase were observed in Pulaski and Mississippi Counties, with percentage increases of 17.4% and 16.7%, respectively. However, almost as consistently as all 35 counties showed natural increase within their black populations, all but one of these 35 I counties showed net outmigration of blacks. (See Table 2D and Map 2C.) The only exception to this pattern of net outmigration 16 i V is Howard County in southwestern Arkansas, which showed 7.1% net inmigration of blacks. i V Thirty of the 35 counties for which data were available showed net black outmigration of 10.0% or more, with four of these counties (Desha, Phillips, Lonoke, and Monroe) showing net black outmigration of more than 25.0%.  When its 7.1% net black inmigration is considered together with its 10.3% black natural increase, we see how it came to pass that Howard County experienced the largest overall percentage increase in its black population (17.4%).  The experience of Howard County can be contrasted with that of Pulaski County, the county with the second largest percentage increase in its black population. In the case of Pulaski County,  the 13.3% increase in its black population is attributable to 17.4% natural increase (the highest in the State among any racial group) and 4.2% net outmigration.  This review of population change in the black populations of Arkansas counties suggests yet a fourth \"basic type\" of This pattern is 9 population change, the \"black Delta\" pattern. characterized by significant overall population decline, due to massive outmigration in the face of strong forces of natural increase. This pattern contrasts with the \"rural loss\" pattern 9 observed among whites, in which more moderate overall population declines are seen as the result of strong outmigration and weaker natural increase. 9 Even in the eastern Delta counties, where both white and black populations sustained significant losses during the 1980s, the contrast between the \"black Delta\" pattern and the more general 9 \"rural loss\" scenario is readily apparent. Indeed, the largest percentage decrease in white population occurred in Lee County, where the County's overall white population decline of 21.2% 9 9 exceeded the County's overall black population loss of 12.1%. However, when we decompose these overall decreases into natural increase and net migration components, we see that net black outmigration was nearly as large as net white outmigration (23.2% versus 21.9%) . 9 In Phillips County, the county with the second largest percentage decrease in its white population, the decomposition is even more interesting. Although Phillips County's overall percentage decrease in its white population was greater than that for blacks (19.8% versus 14.4%), decomposition analysis shows that the net outmigration rate for Phillips County blacks was greater than that of Phillips County whites (26.8% versus 22.8%). Although net migration appears to be the driving force of overall population change for blacks just as it is for whites, the strong rates of natural increase obseirved among blacks require that both factors be taken into account in any comparison of population change among whites and blacks in the State of Arkansas. 17 TABLE 2A: COMPONENTS OF CHANGE FOR THE BLACK POPULATION OF ARKANSAS COUNTIES, 1980 TO 1990 (COUNTIES SORTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)  COUNTY 1980 1990 CHANGE XCHNG, BIRTHS DEATHS HATING ZNATINC ESTMIG XESTMIG ii  II I I  i Arkansas Ashley Bradley Calhoun Chicot Clark Cleveland Columbia Conway Crittenden Cross Dallas Desha Drew Hempstead Hot Spring Howard Jackson Jefferson Lafayette Lee Lincoln Little River Lonoke Miller Mississippi Monroe Nevada Ouach i ta Phillips Prairie Pulaski Saint Francis Union Woodruff 4805 7237 4022 1706 9414 5079 1194 9242 2974 21207 5068 3957 8444 4886 7062 3014 2486 2887 36825 4189 8520 4794 3470 4218 9136 16164 5738 3398 11002 18410 1417 81407 14190 13970 3490 4738 6616 3648 1447 8859 4913 1059 8992 2876 21401 4782 3698 7139 4754 6464 2865 2919 2759 36877 3711 7487 4935 2931 3536 8625 16006 4422 3196 10739 15753 1294 92200 13521 14061 2991 -67 -621 -374 -259 -555 -166 -135 -250 -98 194 -286 -259 -1305 -132 -598 -149 433 -128 52 -478 -1033 141 -539 -682 -511 -158 -1316 -202 -263 -2657 -123 10793 -669 91 -499 -1.4 -8.6 -9.3 -15.2 -5.9 -3.3 -11.3 -2.7 -3.3 0.9 -5.6 -6.5 -15.5 -2.7 -8.5 -4.9 17.4 -4.4 0.1 -11.4 -12.1 2.9 -15.5 -16.2 -5.6 -1.0 -22.9 -5.9 -2.4 -14.4 -8.7 13.3 -4.7 0.7 -14.3 1065 1402 703 271 2027 885 225 1750 546 5333 1254 767 1847 974 1292 513 586 611 8146 726 1894 845 519 855 1770 4307 1180 568 2307 4563 262 21253 3490 3031 713 604 805 504 222 1182 544 134 1059 347 2341 516 482 928 447 814 367 330 357 3772 496 1060 447 317 400 932 1607 738 382 1377 2293 167 7062 1502 1697 472 461 597 199 49 845 341 91 691 199 2992 738 285 919 527 478 146 256 254 4374 230 834 398 202 455 838 2700 442 186 930 2270 95 14191 1988 1334 241 9.6 8.2 4.9 2.9 9.0 6.7 7.6 7.5 6.7 14.1 14.6 7.2 10.9 10.8 6.8 4.8 10.3 8.8 11.9 5.5 9.8 8.3 5.8 10.8 9.2 16.7 7.7 5.5 8.5 12.3 6.7 17.4 14.0 9.5 6.9 -528 -1218 -573 -308 -1400 -507 -226 -941 -297 -2798 -1024 -544 -2224 -659 -1076 -295 177 -382 -4322 -708 -1867 -257 -741 -1137 -1349 -2858 -1758 -388 -1193 -4927 -218 -3398 -2657 -1243 -740 -11.0 -16.8 -14.2 -18.1 -14.9 -10.0 -18.9 -10.2 -10.0 -13.2 -20.2 -13.7 -26.3 -13.5 -15.2 -9.8 7.1 -13.2 -11.7 -16.9 -21.9 -5.4 -21.4 -27.0 -14.8 -17.7 -30.6 -11.4 -10.8 -26.8 -15.4 -4.2 -18.7 -8.9 -21.2 State Totals 373768 373912 144 0.0 84607 39615 44992 12.0 -44848 -12.0  SOURCES\nDIVISION OF DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK.

The birth and death data used in this report come from two main sources. Data for the white population were compiled from  Arkansas Vital Statistics, an annual publication of the Arkansas Department of Health's Center for Health Statistics. Since this II locally produced publication has only recently begun to present data separately for blacks (as distinct from \"nonwhites\"), we were forced to turn to a different source for our birth and death data for the black population, vital Statistics of the United 11 States, an annual publication of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Center for Health Statistics. M However, the federal publication presents separate data for blacks only for counties whose nonwhite population numbered 10,000 or more or constituted 10.0% or more of the county's total population. As a result, our analysis of the black population is II restricted to those 35 Arkansas counties that met these criteria\nthose 35 counties did, however, encompass approximately 92% of the State's black population in both 1980 and 1990. II If la 25  dJ^ II Despite Differences in Overall Growth Rates, Racial Composition of the Population Remains Relatively Stable 11 Dr. Lawrence L. Santi Division of Demographic Research University of Arkansas at Little Rock II Little Rock, AR 501-569-8571 72204 II January 29, 1991 II A recent report by my colleague, Ms. Mary McGehee, examined black-white differences in rates of population growth for the State of Arkansas and its 75 counties (\"Changes in Population by Race for Arkansas: 1980-1990\", January 26, 1991). In the H present note, we will take another look at the race data from the 1990 Census. H In contrast to Ms. McGehee's report, which focussed on differential growth rates between whites and blacks, the present note concerns itself with the extent to which these patterns of differential change produced change in the racial composition of II Arkansas counties. More specifically, we will examine the black percentages of the 1990 populations of Arkansas counties and see the extent to which these patterns differ from those of 1980. (These data speak more directly to the headline of a story appearing in last Sunday's Arkansas Gazette, \"Racial mix in the Delta is shifting.\" that headline might suggest.) The present results are not as dramatic as The relevant data are presented in four tables which contain the same basic information but have the counties arrayed in different If sort orders. In Table 1, counties are sorted alpabetically by county name, while in Tables 2 and 3, counties are sorted in descending order of their black percentages for 1980 and 1990, El respectively. The data in Table 4 are sorted by the differences in the black percentage of Arkansas counties between 1980 and 1990. These data are also displayed in Maps 1, 2, and 3. II In general, these data show very little change in the racial composition of Arkansas counties from 1980 to 1990. In all, 31 II of Arkansas' 75 counties (41.3% of all counties) registered slight increases in the black percentages of their populations, 25 counties (33.3%) showed slight decreases, and the remaining 19 counties (25.3%) showed no change at all (i.e., change of less than 0.1%, up or down). More specifically, the adjective \"slight\" used above to modify the words \"increases\" and \"decreases\" means changes in black percentages of less than plus or minus 4.0%. Indeed, in only 13 counties did the black percentage increase by as much as a single percentage point, and in only 7 counties did the black percentage decrease by one point or more. The greatest increases in the black percentage of the population were observed in Chicot, Howard, Jefferson, Lee, Pulaski, andH n Arkansas Counties, all of whom experienced increases in their black percentages of 2.0% or more. II II At the other end of the continuum, the greatest decreases were seen in Lafayette, Lonoke, Calhoun, and Little River Counties, all of whom experienced decreases in their black percentages of 2.0% or more. As a summary assessment, patterns of population change in the State of Arkansas during the 1980s have done very little to alter the State's highly concentrated racial distribution. Only three II II counties in the State (Lee, Chicot, and Phillips Counties) had \"majority black\" populations in 1980, and these were the same three \"majority black\" counties in 1990. The remaining 72 counties in the State, and this includes most of those counties we commonly refer to as \"Delta counties\", have been and continue to be \"majority white\" counties. At the other extreme, 21 counties p8.0% of all Arkansas counties) had black populations which constituted less than 1.0% of their total populations in 1980, and the number of such counties increased to 23 (30.7% of all counties) by 1990. (Franklin County and Crawford Counties were the two counties that saw their black percentages slip from just over to just under the 1.0% mark.) H  M II The present note shows little change in the overall racial composition of the State and its counties during the 1980s. However, it is likely that this impression of overall stability in the racial composition of Arkansas' population masks important differences in the underlying population dynamics of the two major racial groupings in the State, and it is likely that these dynamics will vary across counties within the State. The complex n II task of sorting out the relative contributions of natural increase and net migration to the demographic experience of Arkansas during the 1980s is proceeding as the appropriate data become available.
