Description: A Black Elite by Daniel C. Thompson ?Based on responses from 2,089 graduates of the black private institutions supported by the United Negro College Fund and written by an esteemed black sociologist, this study attempts the first systematic profile of the lives and careers of black college graduates since Charles S. Johnsons The Negro College Graduate (1938).... The work possesses two remarkable strengths that make it required reading for all who would understand the black experience in contemporary America. First, it demonstrates that UNCF graduates are overwhelmingly nonradical in politics despite the legacy of the revolution in civil rights, that they exhibit remarkable social and vocational stability, and that they retain a social consciousness not shared by most upwardly mobile white professionals are cogently documented are worthy of note. The book is also superb social commentary on the small southern black private college and its graduates from the mind and heart of a man who has become a legend in American education and the living embodiment of the ideals of the United Negro College Fund.
