New York is never as progressive as it’s made out to be. Often it’s a lonely place to be young and black.
So lonely, in fact, that black millennials are leaving — or not flocking here in the first place. Rather, more alluring possibilities lie in the South, specifically in cities like Atlanta, Miami and Dallas.
