Description
Provides a study of how an overbuilt, upper-middle-income white neighborhood was nibbled at, invaded, and finally inundated by the Negro masses who pushed against the softest spot in a discriminatory real estate market. The role of the real estate broker, white and Negro, is deftly sketched, as is the unsuccessful defensive behavior of the white property owner.
