Their disadvantaged status has its origins in institutional racism, human capital deficits, and geographical concentration in persistently poor areas with a low tax base and consequently minimal capital to invest in improving their socioeconomic conditions (Bedics, Durant and Knowlton, Kuvlesky et al., Moland, Tienda). Over the past twenty-five years, their plight has improved largely because of dismantling of de jure segregation; higher educational attainment; growth in the national economy; and expansion of education, training, and public transfer programs (Durant and Knowlton, Moland, Rodgers and Weiher). Nevertheless, rural minorities continue to be disadvantaged relative to minorities in urban areas and to whites in rural areas}, number={5}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={ALLEN, JE and THOMPSON, A}, year={1990}, month={Dec}, pages={1161–1168} }
