This is a report of recent research inNorthern Community, a New England city where Negroes constitute a relatively minor portion of the total population. Although not as spectacularly evident as in many Southern communities, or in other Northern communities of greater Negro concentrations in the total population, problems of discrimination in employment, housing, and school facilities do exist inNorthern Community. Concomitant problems of Negro leadership appear to be compounding the problems of racial discrimination, or at least to be making the search for solutions to the problems more difficult.
