RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND ATTITUDES TOWARD PROTEST.
Abstract
Previous research has almost uniformly shown black Americans to be less politically active than white Americans. Past research has also consistently shown that blacks and whites vary widely in attitudes toward protest: that blacks on the whole are much more favorably disposed toward protest activity than are whites. The purpose of this research is to examine racial differences in bothpolitical participation and attitudes towards protest. This examination will be based on data from the 1968 American National Election Study which was conducted by the Political Behavior Program, Institute for Social Research, of the University of Michigan. In this research the author purposes to identify the scope of these differences and to assess the validity of prior research on the reasons forthese differences.
