income & race

I've just been looking at the 1996 U.S. income figures. Median incomes of
black households have risen from 58.2% of white ones in 1992 to 63.2% in
1996, the highest on record. The black poverty rate is also the lowest on
record. Obviously the gap is still very wide, but has anyone else noticed
this trend? What's happening?
