"While about 12 percent of the nation’s working-age population is black, about 5 percent of physicians and dentists in the United States are black — a share that has not grown since 1990, according to an analysis of census data that was prepared for The New York Times by sociologists at Queens College of the City University of New York. The analysis found that 3 percent of American architects are black, another field where the share has not increased in more than two decades."

A Supreme Court case on considering race as a factor in university admissions has reignited debate on African-Americans’ progress in sought-after professions.

The user's apparent confusion stems from the fact that the woman—bound by her religion not to cut her hair or alter her body—has an abundanc...

"For years, black filmmakers, or anyone interested in making movies starring or about black people, have been told that “black doesn’t travel,” the assumption being that the African American experience is too specific to be comprehensible, or commercial, anywhere but in the United States."

The film industry has long assumed that black-themed films don’t play overseas. Really?

We've known this for a while, but read this short piece and let me know YOUR thoughts! More people of color in positions of power and influence would certainly alter this reality...one would hope...
