Quote of the Day

Bedford Stuyvesant was a 100% white neighborhood from until the late 1930s when some blacks started moving in from the south and WI. By the 1950 it was 50/50 and in the 1960 and early 70s you still had some old white families in the area. Spike Lee shows us that in Crooklyn set int he mid 1970s. In 80s and 90s it was hard to find a white person. Today on the Nostrand Ave A train platform it was about 40/60 the area is going back to the feel of the 1950s when it comes to diversity and I really think it needed. This will help us learn from one another and appreciate each other.
