Northern exposure.

Thank you for Barbara Miner's article, "The Stealth Depression in Black America" (January issue). I was born in Wisconsin, but currently my home is Houston. I have always found it interesting that my peers and I tend to idolize the North as though it were some utopia free of racism. But your article awakened me to the fact that these Northern cities are far from utopian havens and appear to be little prisons on Earth for America's black men.
