Recently reported in the Wall Street Journal: "Decades of white flight tranformed America's cities. That era is drawing to a close." The proportion of whites living in eight of the nation's fifty largest cities increased in the period 2000-2006. "Beloved institutions in traditionally black communities--minority-owned restaurants, book stores--are losing the customers who supported them for decades. As neighborhoods grow more multicultural, conflicts over home prices, taxes, and education are opening a new chapter in American race relations."
