they are going back to charlotte, atlanta, houston, raleigh, the raleigh-durham's of the south.they are going to places that are somewhat familiar because they are urban. children of the great migration are urban people. their parents went to big cities, and they're going to places that have some of what they are accustomed to, but with the standard of living is easier to maintain. they also are americans, and they are acting as other americans are. in other words, other americans are often going to sunbelt part of the country. day, during the '90s and the early part of the 21st century, were going where the jobs were. the northern industrial cities such as buffalo and cleveland and detroit have been under tremendous pressure. and so they are taking the opportunity to act as other americans are. this is a mainstreaming of all americans, of african-americans into mainstream. and i view this as a positive step for ultimately acting in having the opportunities that anyone else might have in this country. that's how i look at it. >> host: this e-mail has come in from martha barkley,

obama will be in raleigh-durham, north carolina, tomorrow. today's news from the census bureau, however, brought an even further sense of urgency to this issue. you may have seen this. the news the u.s. poverty rate is the highest it's been since the early '90s. one in six americans now living in poverty. the specifics are even worse. child poverty rose from under 21% to 22%. poverty among hispanic americans went from more than 25% to more than 26%. poverty among african-americans went from just under 26% to over 27%. poverty among white people is much lower than those other groups but it is rising, too, and fast. it went up from 9.4% to 9.9%. the only large segment of the american population that serves as any sort of silver lining in these poverty numbers is older americans. poverty among americans 65 and over is statistically unchanged. even as it is getting so much worse for so many other groups of people. and that, of course, is because we have something in this country that keeps older americans out of poverty. it's called social securi
