Gets, Oaks

The declining of the neighborhood's down South is quite similar. Farish District in Jackson for example was the biggest Black district in Mississippi and large amounts of goods and services flowed through it since Blacks wasn't allowed on Capitol Street. After the 60s and Jim Crow laws tarnished, the Farish district decline gradually into a ghetto with active drugs & prostitution for any to see. No different from other major cities of the 70s-90s.

The movement of not just whites but Blacks that could afford to live anywhere or elsewhere is a major factor in expanding the underclass Black areas. Remember that even back then during Jim Crow era that there was a distinctive separation of social class in the Black community , Ex: Church Street in Farish District was the sugar hill of Black Jacksonians, Memphis Northside is where middle class or above lived while Southside was working class, etc. Also argue why the whites just stay put in their communities as well but nobody can see into the future with 100% accuracy.
