Black Belts Are Disintegrating Across States
Atlanta reports census sociologist Dr. T F Wolster says the historic Southern Black belt regions are breaking apart as migration northward and lower birth rates shrink their share. From 1880 to 1920 the counties with majority Black populations fell from 300 to 216, with 1910 showing 54 counties above three to one and 1920 only 32. Prices and populations shift as urban areas gain substantially while rural areas lose. States like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama show notable Black population increases, while infant mortality remains high.
