A quote from 7:40: "Consider a few facts for the moment, A few facts that point to this paradox of persistent racial inequality particularly in the North. Today 23 of the 25 most segregated metropolitan areas in the United States are in the Northeast and in the Midwest. Here are the top 10: Detroit, Gary, Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, Newark, New York City, Cincinnati and Saint Louis."
From 8:48: "The history for the struggle for racial equality in the North has been almost completely overshadowed by the voluminous scholarship and representations and images in popular culture of the Southern movement. The vast majority of the near library of books and articles on the history of civil rights focuses on the South, and I would argue to the great detriment of our understanding of race relations in modern America."
