The Negro Family: The Case For National Action - a follow-up, 43 years later

In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, one of the brighter folks to serve our government in the 20th Century, wrote the above named study on behalf of the Office of Policy Planning and Research, a part of the United States Department of Labor, and had its resulting report forever named for him: The Moynihan Report.

40 years later, The Moynihan Report has been, itself, studied up and down and back and forth, and the results of these reflections have now been published, as well.

The Moynihan Report Revisited: Lessons and Reflections after Four Decades
http://ann.sagepub.com/content/vol621/issue1/

From the first piece, a bit of explanation of it:

The Moynihan Report is probably the most famous piece of social scientific analysis never
published. Completed in March 1965 as an internal document by a young assistant secretary of
labor, it was written as input into an ongoing debate within the administration of President
Lyndon Baines Johnson about how to move forward in grappling with “the Negro problem” in
the wake of the landmark passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
