@JacksSonKenny My fathers mother was black, his father Puerto Rican. My grandmother had 10 kids and would make them be home at 3pm to do there homework and there feet couldnt touch the floor without finishing there homework. They had to be home at 6pm or my grandmother would come looking for them and then Dicipline them right by taking away all there playtime. They all grew up to be nurses, paralegals,engineers, or chefs.
Anthony Watkins does claim Cabrini as his home. It was in the early 70's that professionals that grew up in Cabrini-Green went back to Jenner school on a Career day, that we found out Tony's mom would not move out even though he requested her to do so. He could pay where ever she wanted to stay, she chose to stay there in the row houses.

Cabrini–Green closed on December 9, 2010, as the final resident was moved out of the complex's last standing building. Most of the buildings have been razed and the entire neighborhood is being redeveloped into a combination of high-rise buildings and row houses, with the stated goal of creating a mixed-income neighborhood, with some units reserved for public housing tenants.
@BH01013 If nothing else, it breaks down the concentration of such elements. You can't have all of those pathologies warehoused on top of each other and expect things to go well....
What is not mentioned, and is of crucial importance--Watson is describing a childhood when the African-American middle class and blue collar still lived in the area. Once the racial housing covenants were struck down, this educated and skilled segment of the community moved to the high-priced suburbs. What was left behind were the unskilled migrants who followed the middle class during the Great Migration, and their equally unskilled descendants.
@Drogyne That's correct I grew up in the Cabrini Green housing projects from the 70's to the early 80's. & what people don't know is that Cabrini Green originally started out as a working class mixed community in the 40's. from Chicago ave. to Orleans st. was black & from Orleans to division ave. was Italian. by the end of the 50's all of the Italians moved out of what was called Cabrini Green Homes. then by the 60's all of the middle classed blacks moved out of Cabrini to the suburbs
@azumanation cont'd...and for the next 30yrs that community went on a downward spiral due to it becoming a low income housing project that would not accept a two couple family to exist for if they had it would disqualify the couple from receiving low income & AFDC. so this was the beginning of the end for Cabrini & many other low income communities across the nation.
This must be the last day of the Huntley/Brinkley Report, where Chet Huntley retired that day, and the name was changed to NBC Nightly News the next day.

The only mistake they made is, when they destroyed Cabrini Green, they didn't leave the savages that lived there inside.
