1) Police chief William H. Parker
-It may have been coincidence that the Department’s most distinguished Chief took office during the City’s centennial in 1950. July 16, 1966,Chief Parker was stricken with a fatal heart attack.
2) Second Migration of African Americans (out of the South --- to places like LA)
-The Second Great Migration was the migration of more than 5 million African Americans from the South to the North, Midwest and West. It took place from 1941, through World War II, and lasted until 1970. It was much larger and of a different character than the first Great Migration (1910-1940).
3) White Flight
-Immediately following World War II, the United States underwent an urban transformation. Kenneth T. Jackson, citing a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey for home building in the six largest metropolitan areas for 1946-47, notes that over 62% of all home construction occurred in suburban areas.
