[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has been historically an African American city going back to the times of the Civil War and post Civil War times. The Federal Government brought a lot of jobs and African Americans came and stayed for the jobs. It is only in about the last decade that DC is becoming white.[/quote] This is not correct. DC has a long history of a strong African American middle class, which is a great thing. But DC also had nearly twice as many white residents as black residents as recently as the 1950 Census. Between 1950 and 1960, the District lost almost 175,000 white residents and gained about 130,000 black residents.
