I had heard once it was around 70 percent..maybe I misunderstood

I bet you are thinking of births out-of-wedlock, which is 73% among blacks. And single parent families among blacks is 67%.

Back in 1960, before the “war on poverty” the out-of-wedlock rate was something like 20-25% for blacks. Still much higher than the national average back then (about 7%).
