Then, starting in the 1950s, the federal government began building freeways to ferry commuters to the nation’s growing middle-class, white suburbs. These roads cut through center cities, often walling off poor and black neighborhoods from business districts. For example, Wilson writes, in Birmingham, Alabama, the interstate highway system “curved and twisted to bisect several black neighborhoods rather than taking a more direct route through some predominantly white neighborhoods.”
