If black women did such a great job instilling all the values you
talked about how did the family unit fall apart in just a few short
years (i.e., the huge number of single parent families)?

It seems like the following virtues would have been passed down at
least a generation or 2. I have an idea but let's hear your take on it.

"Back then, black women raised men, not boys! Sons had
responsibilities and were accountable, and mothers cautioned against
unchaste women. Men picked women who reminded them of their mothers,
and with rare exception, men knew where all their children were. Men
supported their families until the day they died.
Black women of that era taught independence and scoffed at the idea
of welfare. They raised young ladies, not promiscuous girls.
Education was stressed, and blacks in prison were the exception, not
the rule."
