Race Relations

The "Everybody's Business" report (1950) is a self-survey conducted by Greenville County's Community Council to address conditions impacting Greenville's Black community. It provides an in-depth look at key areas including health, education, employment, housing, and law enforcement. The survey identifies limited hospital facilities and inadequate services for Black residents, such as lack of bed space and restricted access for Black physicians. Law enforcement issues include a high arrest rate among Black residents and disparities in probation services. Recommendations focus on improving community resources, enhancing access to medical care, expanding educational facilities, and ensuring fair law enforcement practices. The study also emphasizes the need for cooperation between Black and white citizens to foster a better understanding and implement positive change in Greenville's civic infrastructure.
