"We don't have a full black community in Boston. Our people are scattered. There's a middle class where I live in Highland Park but it's not like a piece of Washington or Chicago"

Henry Hampton's quote speaks with the absence of a cohesive black community in Boston. He notes that the black population is scattered throughout the city, which there is a middle class in Highland Park, however it is not as strong as the black neighborhoods in Washington or Chicago. This quote highlights the disparities in between black neighborhoods in various cities, and the lack of a unified black neighborhood in Boston. It likewise speaks to the requirement for more resources and support for black communities in Boston, so that they can end up being as strong and lively as those in other cities.
