It Was Never a Level Playing Field: Blacks and the GI Bill.
Herbold, Hilary
Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, n6 p104-08 Win 1994-95
Argues that the GI Bill has largely gone unfulfilled for blacks. This is because the poverty in which most blacks found themselves after World War II made seeking higher education problematic. College overcrowding, inadequate precollege preparation, and segregationist policies at schools did not help. The result was greater pressure on black colleges to absorb the influx of black GIs. (GR)
