African-Americans have decided to move to the South in recent years. The 2010 Census was the first one in decades that showed more blacks living in the South than in the North. For most of the 20th century, blacks migrated out of the South en masse, finding new jobs and new lives in places like Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago.

Meanwhile, states such as Michigan and Illinois saw absolute declines in their black populations.

All of the big moments that I can think of that…
