The Hood

"The history of Chicago's blacks and blacks in every other city, did not recapitulate the experiences of European immigrants. No immigrant group ever lived in neighborhoods as segregated as the black ghetto. With each decade, as they left the center of cities for new homes in the suburbs, European immigrants and their children lived in less segregated surroundings. By contrast, black segregation, higher from the start, continued to increase. European immigrants were allowed , even encouraged to move out of ethnic enclaves; blacks were prevented from leaving the ghetto" (Katz, 1996, p.182)
