South Hyde Park racial balance and housing patterns noted
The study notes stable inter racial living in south Hyde Park with high rents and limited new segregation. It cites few Negro residents in the heart of the area, concentrates on 55th to 56th street townhouses, and mentions real estate bias as a possible obstacle. It references John Hope Franklin and local landmarks, plus recent urban renewal sites and housing developments through 1965.
