Just 30 years prior, Beverly had been an all-white, Irish Catholic neighborhood. When we arrived, Beverly was becoming racially integrated insofar as its black population had increased to approximately 15 percent. Upon our arrival, middle-class homes, manicured lawns and predominantly white public institutions graced this community. However, in just 10 years, much of this changed. Although still predominantly white, Beverly’s surrounding public institutions have become largely black. The local bank customers became 99 percent black and the elementary school is now over 90 percent black and Hispanic. During this period, it was not unusual to see ‘going out of business’ signs in the windows of large white-owned stores, declaring that they were moving after 50 years of community service.
