New study validates the infamous Moynihan Report showing dire psychosocial consequences statistically for boys with a stable family in the home. Even when they do achieve well socioeconomically. William Wilson, the second black person following E. Franklin Frazier four decades later, has this and more to say: William Julius Wilson, a sociologist at Harvard and past president of the American Sociological Association, described the disastrous consequences of the hostile reaction on the left to the 1965 “Moynihan Report,” Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s study, “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” to include black males in the labor force in the same year (1965) that Betty Freidan ignited the movement to pull women into the labor force, the year the United States also changed its immigration policy for the first time in forty years. Then came the Drug War that pulled both addicts and pushers into concentrated incarceration camps. And then the blossoms fell, black intellectuals wailed and crooned of black family strengths for two decades. And then we heard the thunder.
