520    "Black Stats-- a comprehensive guide filled with 
       contemporary facts and figures on African Americans-- is 
       an essential reference for anyone attempting to fathom the
       complex state of our nation. With fascinating and often 
       surprising information on everything from incarceration 
       rates, lending practices, and the arts to marriage, voting
       habits, and green jobs, the contextualized material in 
       this book will better attune readers to telling trends 
       while challenging commonly held, yet often misguided, 
       perceptions. A compilation that at once highlights 
       measures of incredible progress and enumerates the 
       disparate impacts of social policies and practices, this 
       book is a critical tool for advocates, educators, and 
       policy makers. Black Stats offers indispensable 
       information that is sure to enlighten discussions and 
       provoke debates about the quality of Black life in the 
       United States today-and help chart the path to a better 
       future. There are less than a quarter-million Black public
       school teachers in the U.S.-- representing just 7 percent 
       of all teachers in public schools. Approximately half of 
       the Black population in the United States lives in 
       neighborhoods that have no White residents. In the five 
       years before the Great Recession, the number of Black-
       owned businesses in the United States increased by 61 
       percent. A 2010 study found that 41 percent of Black youth
       feel that rap music videos should be more political. There
       are no Black owners or presidents of an NFL franchise 
       team. 78 percent of Black Americans live within 30 miles 
       of a coal-fired power plant, compared with 56 percent of 
       White Americans."--|cProvided by publisher.
