“Or did they pack up and move to the cities hoping for a better life?”
DING DING DING!!!
Ladies and gents we have a winner!
The black kids wanted NOTHING to do with farming. They left the farms for jobs in factories making more in five years than their parents made in twenty on the farm.
A lot of white kids did the same but the number of blacks leaving the farm was much higher.
Heck you can’t even get black kids to want to code.
