The way mainstream media operates, you will usually find that after the “big” story dies down -and after the flaming headlines have simmered- there is little follow up to the initial newsworthy event.

At one point Sugrue states that William Levitt, the founder of Levittown, would not sell his homes to black families for fear that whites would not buy his homes knowing that blacks would also be living there. A high ranking official at the New York State Division of Human Rights states that to this day she often wonders how different her life would be if her father had been allowed to buy a home in Levittown.
