Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / This study is an exploratory study to examine settlement house
directors' perceptions of discrimination against Negroes in their communities
and the actions their agencies were taking to decrease discrimination.
The study thus fell into two broad areas.
The first part of the study explored the directors' perceptions
of the discrimination against Negroes in their communities in housing,
education, employment and other areas . This part of the study was based
on the assumption that discrimination did exist in some form and did not
try to examine or describe that discrimination objectively. The study
was rather focused upon the directors' own perceptions of discrimination.
The study did not attempt to explore the directors' own prejudices or
discriminatory practices, for this would have required an evaluative
study of attitudes and a different research design and different techniques
from those used in the study. [TRUNCATED]
