Black population urbanization shifts power dynamics in American cities.

Paper Summary

The article discusses how the urbanization of the black population in the United States has changed over time. It compares the percentage of black and white populations living in urban areas from 1870 to 1960. The findings show that, overall, the black population was more urbanized than the white population in most regions, except the South. However, the black population in the South was less urbanized than the white population, despite an increase in urbanization over the years. The data suggests that the urbanization of the black population has mainly involved moving out of rural areas in the South.
