Great Migration, Part II?

Article (Los Angeles Times)

Blacks are leaving other U.S. regions and returning South. This population shift is nowhere near the millions who left the South from 1910-1970, but the Brookings Institute says the sizeable flow means a new map of Black America must be drawn. People are returning South due to its increased prosperity, better race relations, more cohesive black communities and culture, family ties, and lower costs. Atlanta is the #1 destination, then Dallas and Charlotte. We predict moderate and conservative black politics will increase in appeal, given the South's social conservatism.
