NORFOLK, VA - HISTORY - 1927 African American community in Norfolk
			----¤¤¤----

Norfolk's Thirty-six Percent 64,000 Colored

This booklet is designed to give the reader information concerning the
economic and social status of the colored population of Norfolk. No attempt is
made in its limited pages to cover the subject thoroughly, or to bring out in
detail all of the facts.  The effort here set forth is to present a brief
summary of the important phases of the city's growth as they relate to the
Negro population.  

Negroes constitute thirty six percent of Norfolk's population of 177,000.
That explains the title of the booklet.  The percentage used relates to
population only.
