Living Black breaks the stereotype of poor African American neighborhoods as dysfunctional ghettos of helpless and hopeless people. Despite real and enduring poverty, the community described here-the historic North End of Champaign, Illinois-has a vibrant social life and strong ties among generations. But it operates on its own nonjudgmental terms-teen moms aren't derided, school dropouts aren't ridiculed, and parolees and ex-cons aren't scorned.
