We have seen that with the impact the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"War on Poverty\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_on_Poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">War on Poverty<\/a> has had on the black family. Up until the poverty programs that were put in place in the 1960&#8217;s, ninety percent of black families had two parents living with their children.\u00a0 In 2011 two-thirds of black families were single-parent families.
