The Census Bureau has confirmed what many of us already knew: African Americans are returning to the South in droves.
After decades of outward migration, the Southern region of the U.S. has seen blacks return in search of jobs, a favorable climate and, some academics say, an abiding sense of home.
About 57 percent of U.S. blacks now live in the South, up from 53 percent in the 1970s, according to new Census data. Southern cities that have seen some of the biggest gains include Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Charlotte.
