Read the excerpt from "Keynote Address."
Unlike those of my ancestry, the Negro's
unemployment rate is triple the national average. The
mortality rate of his children is twice that of white
children. He often pays more for his miserable
enement than comparable space will cost in the white
suburbs. He is likely to pay more for his groceries,
more for his furniture, more for his liquor, and more for
his credit. And my fellow Americans, today many
housands of black Americans return from Vietnam
with medals of valor. Some of them have been crippled
n the service of their country. But too often they return
o economic and social circumstances that are barely,
f at all, improved over those they left.
s it any wonder that the Negro questions whether his
place in our country's history books will be any loss
