Journalism Throughout the Ages

Going through articles in magazines' online archives can be really fun and interesting. Especially when you find gems like "THE NEGRO CRIME RATE: A FAILURE IN INTEGRATION," originally published in Time on April 21, 1958: "THEY are afraid to say so in public, but many of the North's big-city mayors groan in private that their biggest and most worrisome problem is the crime rate among Negroes."

Thats a sad article. I would hope that people no longer think like that. The one interesting thing is the alarming criminal stats that were mentioned from 1956. Does anyone know if they have gone up or down in those cities? Its scary to even think that the problems facing us are even worse then they were 40 years ago.
