African Americans were taller than whites in the years of 'systematic slavery and oppression'. Today they are shorter than whites.

Slaves worked 89 percent as many hours per year as whites.

[Trevon Logan](http://www.econ.ohio-state.edu/trevon/pdf/Pres_Address_09-02...) did an experiment seeing how much cotton his children could pick in a day and found that they picked 95% of what the slaves picked of the same age.

Only 1.2% of the former slaves interviewed by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s reported having been raped by a master. Today, 22% of black women report having been raped.

According to Steven Crawford in "The Slave Family: A view from the slave narratives", 51% of black slaves had intact families. In 2011, only 37% of blacks had intact families.
