The Biology of the Race Problem
Written by Dr. Wesley Critz George, and published by the Government of Alabama in 1962, this report serves as a document of the official backlash to the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, which ended segregation in the Southern United States. George, a former head of the Department of Anatomy at the University of North Carolina Medical School, finds that there are inherent genetic differences between whites and African-Americans, and that these differences manifest themselves in societal indicators such as test scores and crime rates. The report concludes by stating that the United States should not "promote racial amalgamation" by allowing the races to mix, and instead suggests that segregation is both socially and biologically the best policy to follow.
This report clearly documents the institutional racism that existed in the Southern U.S. well into the 1960s, as well as demonstrates the scientific arguments that have been employed to justify racial segregation and eugenics.
Available in Strozier Documents, E 185.61 .G3
