Selected characteristics of Negro population in Wichita, Kansas, in 1950
Abstract
Migration of Negroes from the rural South to urban
centers of the North and East began in 1915. This movement
has continued through the years and probably will do
so in the future. As a result, most large cities,
especially industrial centers with increasing demands for
labor, have experienced a rapid growth in Negro population.
A great deal has been learned concerning the American Negro
and his way of life in an urban setting, and the present
study represents an attempt to expand that knowledge by
examining certain aspects concerning the Negro population
in Wichita.
