Non-marital birth rates have risen over time for all ethnic groups but especially in the Black community, where over 70 percent of children are born to unmarried parents. These family dynamics are often attributed to the legacy of American chattel slavery, but US Census data show that from 1890 to 1960, Black men and women were more likely to be married by age 35 than their white counterparts.
The truth is that economic forces, broader cultural shifts around sex, marriage and children, and targeted policy interventions since the 1960s are a much more likely proximate cause for the increase of non-marital births among African Americans today than anything that happened on a southern plantation in 1822.
