  • Why Are the Twin Cities So Segregated?
    Why Are the Twin Cities So Segregated? February, 2015 Executive Summary Why are the Twin Cities so segregated? The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area is known for its progressive politics and forward-thinking approach to regional planning, but these features have not prevented the formation of the some of the nation’s widest racial disparities, and the nation’s worst segregation in a predominantly white area. On measures of educational and residential integration, the Twin Cities region has rapidly diverged from other regions with similar demographics, such as Portland or Seattle. Since the start of the twenty-first century, the number of severely segregated schools in the Twin Cities area has increased more than seven- fold; the population of segregated, high-poverty neighborhoods has tripled. The concentration of black families in low-income areas has grown for over a decade; in Portland and Seattle, it has declined. In 2010, the region had 83 schools made up of 90 percent nonwhite students. Portland had two. The following report explains this paradox. In doing so, it broadly describes the history and structure of two growing industry pressure groups within the Twin Cities political scene: the poverty housing industry (PHI) and the poverty education complex (PEC). It shows how these powerful special interests have worked with local, regional, and state government to preserve the segregated status quo, and in the process have undermined school integration and sabotaged the nation’s most effective regional housing integration program and. Finally, in what should serve as a call to action on civil rights, this report demonstrates how even moderate efforts to achieve racial integration could have dramatically reduced regional segregation and the associated racial disparities.

The question is often asked by the individual American what he or she can do to observe our Nation's Bicentennial. As President of the United States, I suggest there is no better way for free men and women to demonstrate their love for our country than to participate in the elective process. For this reason, I urge you to participate in the party caucus of your choice here in Iowa. You will be playing an active role in the process whereby Americans elect their President. 1976 marks our Bicentennial year. There is no better way to observe it than by taking part in the elective process.
