Benevolent migration

Ann Althouse has a post about a NYT story on the "reverse" migration of blacks from New York City back to the South. This is "news" for the Times, but it's been going on for years. Why? The South is more benevolent. The stereotypes are all wrong. Plus NYC's high taxes and high crime.

An old John Grisham book, The Last Juror, has a story line about a black family whose members are very successful and make a point of coming back home to Mississippi. They are of course not migrants.
