Meanwhile, Black families were barred from those suburbs, couldn't easily take advantage of GI Bill. New highways cut off Black neighborhoods from jobs & transportation. Starved of resources, Black marriage rates (which since emancipation had been higher than white marriage rates) dropped.

Post-war, the US government invested in housing (subsidizing race-restricted suburbs) education (GI Bill) & union protection (for largely white union membership). New Deal had massive investment in stability & corp tax rates were at highest levels. This all pumped white marriage rates!

Since my column, many critics have been sending me images & references to mid-20th c nuclear families as some sentimental/nostalgic ideal: but that was a big aberration, highest marriage rates in history of nation! Also entirely socially engineered thanks to... government handouts to white people!
