Abstract

Taking the position that those who are both black and old are different from the aged or the minority aged, this paper is primarily concerned with providing background information on the National Caucus on the Black Aged, Inc. (NCBA) and selected demographic data on black and other aged to justify that position and hence, NCBA's existence. Black aged—who often experience mul tiple jeopardy from racism, ageism and poverty and, in the case of females, sexism—are beset with certain crucial problems differentiating them from other aged. Because NCBA is opposed to "artificial dissection of blacks," it is justifiably committed to the position that those problems can and must be resolved through effective political action involving NCBA and aging and aged blacks.
