I had my 5 year old granddaughter

5. Lol. Very nice. One grandson is growing up in

an Atlanta satellite city, very middle class, and his friends are a very mixed group coming from mostly mixed neighborhoods.

Of course, an hour north where we live is very different, very white and extremely conservative. And when we drive south on the way to Florida, we hit the black belt where a large portion of the state's almost 1/3 black population live. Interestingly, over the past generation a lot of children and grandchildren of people who left for good jobs in other states have been returning for good, positive reasons, but furthering integration isn't one of them.
