"I realize that I am proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black America in the history of the country."
"I say to Black people: Return to the South, cast down your anchor and create an environment in which racial oppression has no place."
N.Y. Times Columnist Charles Blow in an early January column.
Blow believes that action can return Southern States to a black majority...
"In the first census after the Civil War, three Southern states — South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana — were majority Black. In Florida, Blacks were less than two percentage points away from constituting a majority; in Alabama, it was less than three points; in Georgia, just under four."
Now Blow believes a reverse migration can return black majority political power to those states.
