white flight. and it's true, right? cities are hemorrhaging white folk. for a few reasons. which we'll get to. we'll get to in a bit. but you know, the white flight argument can take on a few connotations that don't really help to explain what happened in cities, or really doesn't help to explain what caused white flight. if you just say, well, why are cities going down the tubes in the mid-1960s, well, white flight. white people are leaving. there's kind of this individualistic troubled way to think about it is to say, white people are leaving and that's what's causing the cities to go down. if white people had stayed, the cities wouldn't be suffering these social calamities. again, when you take structure into consideration, when you ask questions about the structures that have a history of causing problems in the cities, the simple fact of white people leaving doesn't explain what caused the crisis. also, just by saying, well, white people left the cities, it leaves it as an indu

the city of newark became a contested space in the 1960s, one that had been a vehicle of upward mobility for whites, but offered bleak prospects for its increasing black population. the demand for equality and access to higher education became vital in a city whose job opportunities continued to decline for working class residents while racial tensions depressed the quality of life. rutgers has used it. the university emerged as a hero in the memory of the protest because according to the narrative created by rutgers it was challenged by students and in response became an open and multiracial environment. the collective memory produced through the commemorative process fails to attribute the role of post 1965 immigration patterns in the current diversity of the student body demographics. it also celebrates the education opportunity fund as an outcome of the protests even though the program was a state initiative that precedes the sit-in and today provides support to many students less than 30% of whom are black. the relationship between history and memory as two different forms of narration essenti
