As the largest employer of one of the world’s leading economic and geo-political superpowers, the history of the federal government’s workforce is a rich and essential tool for understanding how the “Great Experiment” truly works. The literal face of federal policy, federal employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself, while reflecting the country’s evolution towards true democracy within a public space.  Nowhere is this progression towards democracy more apparent than with its internal race relations. While World War II was a boon to black workers, little is known about the nuanced, ongoing struggles for dignity and respect that black workers endured while working these “good, government jobs.” American Dream Deferredchallenges postwar narratives of government largess for African Americans by illuminating the neglected stories of these unknown black workers.

Stories from the Front of the Room: How Higher Education Faculty of Color Overcome Challenges and Thrive in the Academy

Dr. Frederick Gooding, Jr. is an associate professor of African American Studies and is the inaugural holder of the Dr. Ronald E. Moore Professorship in Humanities in the Honors College at TCU. Gooding critically analyzes race within mainstream media, effectively contextualizing problematic patterns based upon their historical roots. As such, Gooding’s best-known work thus far is “You Mean, There’s RACE in My Movie? The Complete Guide to Understanding Race in Mainstream Hollywood,” which has been utilized in high schools and universities nationwide. Also the co-editor of “Stories from the Front of the Room: How Higher Education Faculty Overcome Challenges and Thrive in the Academy,” Gooding has stayed focused on the practical applications of equity with his 2018 book, “American Dream Deferred” carefully detailing the growth and struggles of black federal workers in the postwar era. His latest work, “Black Oscar” (May 2020), expands his reach into cultural studies by analyzing African American Academy Award winners and how their narratives reflect and reinforce larger American history.

Frederick W. Gooding, Jr./American Dream Deferred: Black Federal Workers in Washington DC, 1941–1981

Economists believe that your neighborhood influences your life outcomes. After isolating social factors, they’ve identified the basic steps families can take to create intergenerational upward mobility. 

Among the findings: African American males have the most success when they connect with positive role models. We visit one Washington D.C. entrepreneur who is finding success amid a changing economy. His story illustrates new strategies moving through governments and the private sector. #blackhistorymonth 

Families have long sought to move toward better neighborhoods and schools to put their kids on the pathway toward success. A study from the Census Bureau is providing fresh insight on where to look.

It revealed significant racial disparities between demographic groups. For example, white families have strong rates of upward mobility in high-income neighborhoods. But in many cases, Black families are losing wealth generation by generation. 

Low-income Black boys had the most success in neighborhoods that had low incarceration rates and a large adult male population. Another key factor is low racial discrimination, measured using tests for implicit bias and racial animus using Google search results.

An interactive map based on a collaboration by researchers at the Census Bureau, Harvard University and Brown University shows which neighborhoods are most likely to produce children who move into higher tax brackets. The dataset contains 35 years of anonymized tax filings from 20 million Americans.

Ellora Derenoncourt, an economics professor at Princeton University, told CNBC the findings raise big questions: “Should we blame poverty on people and individuals and the choices they’ve made? Or are there external factors that are really determining their life course?“

In select neighborhoods of Maryland, Virginia and New York, Black households produced children who went on to out-earn the national median as they matured into adulthood. Neighborhoods in Houston and Atlanta have results that show where targeted improvements are having a big impact. 

Improving conditions for the Black labor force is a key issue for businesses. Federal labor statistics often reveal that Black workers bear the brunt of economic recession. “The reasons for that basically boil down to lack of mentorship and a lot of Black workers being tied up in jobs that don’t provide a clear pathway up,” said Shelley Stewart III, a partner at McKinsey & Company.
