===Detroit=== Detroit is one of the most segregated cities in the United States.<ref name=NYT26Mar11>{{cite news|last=Sugrue|first=Thomas J.|title=A Dream Still Deferred|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/27/opinion/27Sugrue.html|access-date=27 July 2012|newspaper=New York Times|date=26 March 2011}}</ref><ref name=Darden2010>{{cite journal|last=Darden|first=Joe|author2=Rahbar, Mohammad|author3= Jezierski, Louise|author4= Li, Min|author5= Velie, Ellen|title=The Measurement of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Characteristics and Black and White Residential Segregation in Metropolitan Detroit: Implications for the Study of Social Disparities in Health|journal=Annals of the Association of American Geographers|date=1 January 2010|volume=100|issue=1|pages=137β158|doi=10.1080/00045600903379042|s2cid=129692931|quote=In 2000, metropolitan Detroit was the most racially segregated large metropolitan area in the United States (Dn, Stokes, and Thomas 2007). Accompanying such extreme racial residential segregation is extreme class segregation.}}</ref> During the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]], the city gained a large black population, which was excluded upon arrival from white neighborhoods. This exclusion was enforced by economic discrimination ([[redlining]]), exclusionary clauses in property deeds, as well as violence (destruction of property including arson and bombings, as well as assault).<ref name=DetroitDivided>{{cite book|title=Detroit divided|year=2002|publisher=Russell Sage Foundation|location=New York|isbn=9780871542816|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=olcZfAD7cPEC&pg=PP1|author1=Reynolds Farley|author2=Sheldon Danziger|author3=Harry J. Holzer|chapter=The Evolution of Racial Segregation|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/detroitdivided0000farl}}</ref> Some of the discriminatory policies in Detroit ended as public awareness increased and became more sensitive to the national civil rights movement, which began after World War II, and as black voting power in city precincts increased. The changes allowed Black people to move into additional neighborhoods in the City, but some neighborhoods resisted and for the most part little or no change of segregative practices occurred in the suburbs. By the mid-70s, more than two-thirds of students in the Detroit school system were black.<ref name=Taylor1975 />
