Are civil rights leaders moving too fast, too slowly, or at about the right speed?

Pace of civil rights efforts · Asked in 13 waves, 1964–1992 · 20,156 responses · weighted estimates computed from individual responses

Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). Codes that include 'no Pre/Post IW' were dropped for respondents without that interview. Dropped only in years where the codebook names a design split (alternate form, half sample, abbreviated or web instrument): 0 in 1984, 1986, 1990. NA code treated as not asked where it exceeds 10% of a year's answers (an unlabeled split or filter): 0 in 1970. Kept and flagged: 0 (no_answer), 9 (dk). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 1 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N. 1966 NOTE: 2 additional code categories were present besides those appearing here. For 1966, ‘mostly about right but some going too fast’ (8 cases) was recoded to 3 here, and ‘mostly about right but some going too slowly’ (1 case) was recoded to 1. 1968 NOTE: The category ‘about right’ was a combination category which also included ‘pro-con.’
