		Brownsville changed from an ethnically and to some extent racially diverse rural community before the 1880s into the largest Jewish community in the U.S. by 1930; from Jewish to a predominantly African American and Puerto Rican community by the 1960s; and from an industrial to an increasingly post-industrial environment during the late 20th century.
		Like African Americans, Jews also confronted barriers to their movement out of Brownsville into other areas, and were largely excluded from teaching positions in the public schools, until the onset of World War I and the 1920s.
		At the same time, whereas Brownsville's elites had supported federally funded housing during World War II and its aftermath, they responded to the rising African American and Puerto Rican populations with concerted campaigns for private middle income houses to offset the spread of public housing.

	UJC - The Brownsville Public School Boycott of 1905 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Historian Leonard Bloom notes that, "by the turn of the twentieth century, the separation of church and state in the [public] school setting was well established in law." This did not stop Harding and other evangelical Christians from testing the limits that the doctrine imposes.
		By 1905, Brownsville was a densely populated neighborhood of small shops and factories whose population was at least 80% Jewish.
		Historian Arthur Goren argues that, for Jewish immigrants of this era, the public schools were "the great democratic institution, the bridge to the new society and the key to self-improvement." Brownsville's Jewish parents entrusted the public schools to make their children bicultural Americans - Jewish Americans - not American Christians.
