I should have explained that I was thinking of Austin's black population in comparison to other Texas cities like Houston and Dallas.

They are hard to find now, if you only stick to affluent neighbohoods. In the 1950s it was much easier to find black people as a great many of them lived in Clarksville.

^good luck. Now, as in the 1950s, black people are hard to find in Austin.

Do they need black people to sit at the "colored" lunch counter?
