How long do you think Roxbury will
remain a black neighborhood?

With more black-owned businesses thriving, I hope it will be for eternity. |

It’s not even a black community now. Go up in Fort Hill and see how many of us are left. |

It won’t be black for long. Within 10 years it will be all mixed. |

I would say for another 10 years. Gentrification is an evolutionary process. It won’t be totally non-black, but it will change a lot. |

I don’t think it will be a predominantly black neighborhood much longer. You see a lot of folks moving in who don’t look like us. This neighborhood is starting to come up. |

I think within the next 15 to 20 years it’s going to change. They’re going to keep pushing us into Milton and Randolph. |
