A little trivia: George HW Bush lived in Compton when he was employed with one of the local oil companies in the late 40s/early 50s.
I used to know a guy who was raised in Willowbrook, which abuts Compton. He told me that both communities had laws on the books prohibiting blacks from moving in. When restrictive covenants were thrown out, the for sale signs went up immediately.

George HW Bush lived in Compton Holy cow! We've CERTAINLY seen a change in that community, haven't we? NO ONE in their right minds (if they can afford to get out, that is....) would live there.
