9412016斯奈德曼该项目代表一项研究继续进行研究，该研究旨在确定和克服在白人占多数的地区选举非裔美国人竞选国会候选人的障碍。这项研究的主要部分集中在白人占多数的地区选民对非裔美国人国会候选人的反应，这一持续进行的项目提供了对大约250名非裔美国人的采访，以增加已经在研究中的500人。两者的结合提供了一个足够大的样本，可以分析非裔美国人的观点、关切、愿望和价值观，不仅是为了方便地与美国白人的观点、关切、愿望和价值观形成对比，而且是因为他们本身的权利和细节。因此，这项研究使调查人员能够不仅从白人的角度，而且从非裔美国人的角度来探索种族问题。

9412016 Sniderman This project continues research on behalf of a study aimed at identifying and overcoming barriers to electing African American candidates for Congress in majority-white districts. The principal portion of the study concentrates on the reactions of voters to African American candidates for Congress in white-majority districts and this continuing project provides for interviews with approximately 250 African Americans to add to the 500 already in the study. Combining the two provides a sample of sufficient size to permit the analysis of the views, concerns, aspirations and values of African Americans, not simply as a convenient contrast with those of white Americans, but in their own right and in detail. The study thus enables the investigators to explore issues of race not only from the perspective of whites but from that of African Americans.
