DescriptionThis is a chart from a study done by Dr. Egerton Elliot Hall of the unequal distribution of employment across races, particularly concerning African Americans and white Americans throughout the 1910s through the early 1930s within New Jersey. During this time many African American migrants from Southern states were moving to the New Jersey area. Through this study Hall explores the effects of the unequal distribution of employment on various aspects of the lives of African Americans such as their health and education. This particular chart indicates the average number of deaths and rate of death from tuberculosis within the African American community versus the white community of Trenton, Camden, Elizabeth, East Orange, Atlantic City, Perth Amboy, Montclair, Orange, New Brunswick, and Plainfield. The information for this chart was taken from Supplement to Statistical Handbook of the New Jersry Tuberculosis League.
