Counterpoint to ‘A Case Study in Racial Ironies’
When I was growing up during the 1930s and ‘40s, View Park was a neighborhood of affluent, upper-middle-class white families. Since my mother had a friend living there, I spent many hours visiting. It was a lovely neighborhood filled with large beautiful homes.
Then the black families started to move in and the white families left. Now I read the process has reversed itself and the black families are worried about the white families moving in. The only alternative left is coexistence. I hope they try it--it may be the final solution.
