See https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071334/ and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071334/reviews . This is movie Claudine from 1974 with Diane Carroll and James Earl Jones. It shows how ridiculous LBJ Great Society rules are tearing apart black families and how reasonable black people need to try to work around the rules. Senator Moynihan described this problem, too.
