Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Robert Hill, of the National Urban League and Morgan State University, listed the following five strengths of African American families that allow them to function effectively in a hostile (racist) society.

1 . Strong kinship bonds: Blacks are more likely than Whites to care for children and the elderly in an extended family network.
2 . A strong work orientation: Poor Blacks are more likely to be working, and poor Black families often include more than one wage earner.
3 . Adaptability of family roles: In two-parent families, an egalitarian pattern of decision making is the most common. The self-reliance of Black women who are the primary wage earners best illustrates this adaptability.
4 . Strong achievement orientation: Working-class Blacks indicate a greater desire for their children to attend college than do working-class Whites. A majority of low-income African American children want to attend college.
5 . A strong religious orientation: Since the time of slavery, Black churches have been the impetus behind many significant grassroots organizations.
