Description
A look at how neighborhoods change as new people move in, and when urban dwellers go to the suburbs. Race and class are issues here, with perceptions that crime rates are rising, fueled by preconceptions about race. The program profiles the town of Laurel, Maryland, a midway point between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland, where Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama was shot and paralyzed during his presidency campaign in 1972. The governor was there appealing to the mostly white constituents. Today, Laurel is a town better characterized by its growing minority and ethnic populations, and also by crime. Journalist Askia Muhammad investigates how the town has changed over 30 plus years. Is crime on the increase? Or is it the perception of crime is that is changing? The answers depend on who is answering the question: a minister, a business woman, a counselor, a local politician or an at-risk youth.
