The movement of people from country to city has been called by Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman. "the most massive migration the world has ever known." Today seven out of 10 citizens live on less than 2 percent of the Nations land. and most of the rest seem destined to join them. This trend was never seriously questioned by previous generations. The reason: Those who went to the city found a better life. But now. while a halfmillion rural migrants. many of them nonwhite. continue to make the trek to urban areas each year. they are not finding a better life. Just read and listen to the news of riots in the cities. But the cities problems cannot be solved simply by improving living conditions and job opportunities in them.
