City of Quartz summary
Reason 1 - Diverse racial composition
The reason for diverse racial composition is that by generating increased competition for the menial labor and manufacturing jobs that would have gone to them easily in a city like Chicago or Detroit and after WWII they became isolated rather than racial intergration.
Reason 2 - Dynamic economic growth Though a new wave of both very high-skill and very low-skill manufacturing industries, along with the expansion of retail and service industries, created thousands of new jobs in Los Angeles and Southern California the blacks found that they were not treated equally.
Reason 3 - Dispersive spatial arrangement
Though the whites finally became to recognize the consequences of housing people in segregated areas they agressively respnded of the flood of blacks by defending racial desegragation and whatever blacks gained from the benifits of WWII quickly disappeared in the postwar years.
