Dr. Rose Praises Negro Progress
WASHINGTON—(ANP)—Visible strides made by the Negro community in America during the last decade in its struggle for equality of right and of opportunity are attributable primarily to four historical developments of World War II, says Dr. Arnold M. Rose, University of Minnesota sociology professor, in his pamphlet "The Negro in Postwar America."
The booklet is fourteenth in the series of Freedom Pamphlets published by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
Dr. Rose, a specialist in social psychology, author of several studies related to Negro problems and probably best known for his association with Gunnar Myrdal in the writing of the monumental "An American Dilemma," emphasizes these factors as having spurred the progress of the Negro:
1. Increased Negro voting, particularly in Southern primaries;
2. Wartime manpower shortage;
3. The need for "global good will;"
4. The policies of the federal government;
5. The organized "protest movements" instituted by Negroes themselves to further their cause and help develop a sense of group pride.
