[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what the "richest" black neighborhood is in DC or the country with at least 80% black population? [/quote]

Baldwin Hills in LA.[/quote]

[b]Baldwin Hills isn't 80% but even if it was it is a fluke enclave of Hollywood types. Not the real word[/quote]

Not sure if correct, but Wiki tells me it's 78.5% AA.  It also apparenly used to be called "Pill Hill" due to the high percentage of doctors who lived there.

It took me a minute to remember how I was familiar with this neighborhood because I have few ties to CA but its talked about in a book that is fantastic, about black migration from southern states called "The Warmth of Other Suns"- honestly its written so well through the stories of a handful of people, its one of those books that you finish and wish were in school curriculum because its an intensely American story that gets just surface discussion.[/quote]

I'm the PP who mentioned Baldwin Hills.  As for the book, I've heard of it--will have to put it on my reading list.  Husband and I are black, but children of immigrants--our young daughter was born here, so is AA.  I want to educate her a bit about AA history in this country.  Plus, just checked out an excerpt and I like the writing style--thanks for mentioning.[/quote]
