To which event are you referring? And why the quotes?

Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Is Politics The Way?
by Walter Williams (November 3, 2004)

"Numerous studies show that children raised in stable two-parent households
do far better than those raised in single-parent households. They are less
likely to have out-of-wedlock births, less likely to engage in criminal
behavior and more likely to complete high school. Historically, black
families have been relatively stable. From 1880 to 1960, the proportion of
black children raised in two-parent families held steady at around 70
percent; in 1925 Harlem, it was 85 percent. Today, only 38 percent of black
children are raised in two-parent families. In 1940, black illegitimacy was
16 percent; today, it's 70 percent. Stable two-parent families are vital for
a child's development. The solution to the problem of unstable families
won't be found in the political arena. There's nothing a president,
congressman or mayor can do. "

These are just the major highlights. If you REALLY want to know the facts,
rather than Jessie Jackson's spin and the left/MSM slurping it up, read "The
Economics and Politics of Race" by Thomas Sowell. He goes into depth about
the pathological behavior that the welfare state created. Such factors as
intergenerational dependency, gross irresponsibility, criminality,
intransigence ...all the traits we're seeing in _certain_ segments down in
NO.


Or, just like parents that never seem to kick their kids out of the roost,
continue to make excuses and make book on what happens when the **** hits
the fan nationally.
