Revitalization Edging Out Blacks in San Francisco

"The economic pressures changing the southeast corner of San Francisco - adjoining districts known together as Bayview-Hunters Point - are the same ones driving African Americans out of many of the Bay Area's traditionally black, inner-city neighborhoods, experts say."

"With the light-rail line, a sweeping new redevelopment plan and a spate of condo construction proposed, the area seems on the brink of revitalization. Autry and many residents look forward to safer streets, more businesses and jobs."

"But African Americans also worry that the changes may mean the demise of this historic black community."
