Black Flight: Racial Shuffling in American Metropolitan Areas (Orly
Population Association of America(PAA) Extended Abstract-2013 Meeting September 21, 2012 Black Flight: Racial Shuffling in American Metropolitan Areas (Orly Clerge & Hilary Silver) Scholars usually refer to "Black Flight," or the rapid geographical mobility of African- Americans, as the return migration of African-Americans to cities in the American South (Frey 2011). Black population gains from 2000 to 2010 mostly occurred in the metropolitan areas of the South, led by Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston. In contrast, black population in metropolitan New York, Chicago, and Detroit fell for the first time. In addition to this black inter-metropolitan mobility, there is evidence of intra-metropolitan movement as well. In line with Chicago School theory (Frey 1979; South & Crowder 1997a, b), urban sociologists have applied the conventional term “white flight” to middle- and working- class African-Americans who move out of neighborhoods where the black poor move in and who move into neighborhoods from which whites fled. For example, Woldoff (2011) demonstrates that after white flight, the initially "pioneering" blacks flee to other neighborhoods or adjust to the new segregated residential environment into which an incoming second wave of black neighbors arrive (see also Patillo-McCoy 2000). Patillo (2007), Hyra (2008), and Freeman also discuss how all black neighborhoods have gentrified, creating class conflicts within the same areas. The class-selective understanding of Black Flight can be confused with “black suburbanization" more generally. -
The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role Did Race Play?
The Bankruptcy of Detroit: What Role did Race Play? Reynolds Farley* University of Michigan at Michigan Perhaps no city in the United States has a longer and more vibrant history of racial conflict than Detroit. It is the only city where federal troops have been dispatched to the streets four times to put down racial bloodshed. By the 1990s, Detroit was the quintessential “Chocolate City-Vanilla Suburbs” metropolis. In 2013, Detroit be- came the largest city to enter bankruptcy. It is an oversimplification and inaccurate to argue that racial conflict and segregation caused the bankruptcy of Detroit. But racial issues were deeply intertwined with fundamental population shifts and em- ployment changes that together diminished the tax base of the city. Consideration is also given to the role continuing racial disparity will play in the future of Detroit after bankruptcy. INTRODUCTION The city of Detroit ran out of funds to pay its bills in early 2013. Emergency Man- ager Kevyn Orr, with the approval of Michigan Governor Snyder, sought and received bankruptcy protection from the federal court and Detroit became the largest city to enter bankruptcy. This paper explores the role that racial conflict played in the fiscal collapse of what was the nation’s fourth largest city. In June 1967 racial violence in Newark led to 26 deaths and, the next month, rioting in Detroit killed 43. President Johnson appointed Illinois Governor Kerner to chair a com- mission to explain the causes of urban racial violence. That Commission emphasized the grievances of blacks in big cities—segregated housing, discrimination in employment, poor schools, and frequent police violence including the questionable shooting of nu- merous African American men. -

The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
“A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming. -
SSN Basic Facts Gordon on Understanding Ferguson
HOW LEGACIES OF URBAN RACIAL SEGREGATION SHAPE TODAY’S CONTROVERSIES OVER POLICE KILLINGS OF BLACK PEOPLE by Colin Gordon, University of Iowa As racial tensions smolder in Ferguson, Baltimore, Charlotte, and beyond, it is important to look beyond the episodes of police violence that struck the match in each setting. The deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Freddie Gray in Baltimore, and Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte punctuate a long history of discrimination and segregation – a legacy that is especially stark in border cities like St. Louis and Baltimore, but present in many other places as well. Legacies of racial segregation ensure that the tinder is dry; that people in affected communities see the death of a young Black man at the hands of the police as a symbol of something much bigger. A close look at St. Louis reveals the dynamics at work. Racial Segregation in St. Louis Racial segregation in St. Louis and its suburbs originated in private action but was then sustained, embedded, and reinvented by public policies. In the early and middle decades of the twentieth century, realtors, developers, and white property owners erected elaborate obstacles to Black property ownership and occupancy. These restrictions were, over time, adopted and formalized as ethical obligations for private realtors, lenders, and insurers. They served, too, as organizing principles for local zoning and federal housing policies and as key determinants of value whenever property was taxed or declared “blighted” for redevelopment. None of this was unique to St. Louis, but for a number of reasons it played out there in a particularly stark and dramatic form. -
Evidence from the Great Migration∗
Racial Heterogeneity and Local Government Finances: Evidence from the Great Migration Marco Tabelliniy Harvard Business School July 18, 2018 Abstract Is racial heterogeneity responsible for the distressed financial conditions of US cen- tral cities and for their limited ability to provide even basic public goods? If so, why? I study these questions in the context of the first wave of the Great Migration (1915- 1930), when more than 1.5 million African Americans moved from the South to the North of the United States. Black inflows and the induced white outflows ("white flight") are both instrumented for using, respectively, pre-migration settlements and their interaction with MSA geographic characteristics that affect the cost of moving to the suburbs. I find that black in-migration imposed a strong, negative fiscal exter- nality on receiving places by lowering property values and, mechanically, reducing tax revenues. Unable or unwilling to raise tax rates, cities cut public spending, especially in education, to meet a tighter budget constraint. While the fall in tax revenues was partly offset by higher debt, this strategy may, in the long run, have proven unsustain- able, contributing to the financially distressed conditions of several US central cities today.

America's Middle Neighborhoods: Setting the Stage for Revival
Predicting Municipal Fiscal Distress: America’s Middle Neighborhoods: Setting the Stage for Revival Working Paper WP18AM2 Alan Mallach Center for Community Progress November 2018 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2018 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract In this paper, I attempt to provide a comprehensive framework to encourage thinking about the growing challenges faced by the middle neighborhoods of the nation’s legacy cities and their inner-ring suburbs. Beginning with a discussion of alternative ways of defining and measuring middle neighborhoods, I propose a typological framework that links a neighborhood’s trajectory to five factors: market trends, racial and ethnic characteristics and transitions, physical form, and location. That is followed by an exploration of the challenges these neighborhoods face today and those they may face in the future, with particular emphasis on the distinct challenges facing predominately African-American middle neighborhoods. A closing section offers a number of key strategies for revival of middle neighborhoods, while an appendix outlines a future middle neighborhoods research agenda. About the Author Alan Mallach is a senior fellow at the Center for Community Progress and a visiting professor in the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment at Pratt Institute. His latest book, The Divided City: Poverty and Prosperity in Urban America will appear in May 2018. -
