White+Flight

//**What is white flight???

white flight**// is the sociologic and demographic term denoting a trend wherein whites flee urbancommunities as the minority population increases, and move to other places like commuter towns. Although an American coinage, “white flight” denotes like behavior in other countries. In many mixed-race cities in the U.S., the //Brown v. Board of Education// (1954) decision of the Supreme Court, ordering the //de jure// racial desegregation of public schools in the United States, and subsequent attempts to achieve //de facto// desegregation by means of forcedbusing, were major factors propelling white flight. However, white flight was observed during the 1950s and 1960s even in those cities (such as Detroit and Cleveland) where racial segregation of public schools was banned long before Brown. source- []
