The mayor of Birmingham, said that following the Supreme Court ruling two years ago, the NAACP has been encouraging Blacks to apply to move to Birmingham.

He said the Federal Housing Administration offers to lease plots for homes in Black towns for as little as $1,000. Some Blacks are prepared to pay $80,000 for a plot in Birmingham. Other Blacks offer to buy homes from White residents in Birmingham for double the going rate or more, he said.

"There are (Black) political elements that are trying to push the White population out," he said.

However some Blacks are attracted to White areas because the schools, infrastructure and services are much better than in the underfunded Black towns.

Freeman said he is willing to send his children to White schools. "My dream is to live as an equal among equals," he said.
