This article examines the impact of black political gains on black and white post neonatal mortality. Two dimensions of black political empowerment are examined, absolute political power and relative political power. The analysis examines all U.S. central cities with a population of at least 50,000 residents, 10% of whom are black. Absolute black political power did not influence post neonatal mortality for blacks or whites. However, there is a negative association between relative black political power and the black post neonatal mortality rate. Black political power had no significant effect on white post neonatal mortality. The implications of these findings for medical sociology theory are discussed.
