Redlining in reverse: Impact of gentrification on Triangle's historically Black neighborhoods

90 years after many Black Triangle neighborhoods were redlined by the federal government, the process is now happening in reverse in many of the same communities -- long-distressed or historically black communities are now being transformed by gentrification.
It's happening in Raleigh and in Durham too. "We used to have family reunions right here in this yard," said Jackie Manns Hill, from the backyard of a small cottage in Durham's Walltown neighborhood. It's the home built by Hill's ancestor George Wall; the community's namesake who built the first home here.
Hill thinks back fondly to the happy times she spent here as a child. She moved back to Walltown to retire in her grandmother's home a few blocks away from George Wall's homestead. But, the times in this historically-black neighborhood are changing fast.
