The first entry in a series of studies issued by Wayne State University in "Inter-Group Conflicts in Detroit." The studies were triggered by the June 1943 Detroit Race Riots, and intended to bring a greater understanding to the relationship between Jewish and African American communities in the city. The majority of the present pamphlet is comprised of twenty conclusions reached by the study, the first of which begins: "Jewish business does not have a monopoly on Hastings, Oakland or Warren. Negro business is increasingly important in all three areas." Another interesting conclusion reads: "The factor of mixed racial employees does not lead to conflict, but more often to friendly relationships." The Detroit branch of the NAACP was one of three sponsors of the study, along with the Jewish Community Council of Detroit and the Graduate School of Wayne State University.
