Black Americans, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, and White Americans: America's Second Revolution
During the 60s and 70s the US put trillions of dollars into such programs as Urban Renewal and Model Cities. Programs that basically kept Blacks and other people of color as well other urban poor on intercity reservations. Reservations for the Blacks, Browns, the poor and the despised. What should have occurred with foresight and courage was the relocation of as many people from those intercity reservations to more sustainable and affluent communities. Communities in which the relocated families after a generation or less would have seen their cycles of poverty ended.
