Even before the collection of the 2000 Census, it was clear that a demographic change was underway in the United States in general. Much of the media and scholarly attention focused on the changes occurring in Western states. Far less attention was paid to the changing demographics in the South. This paper is based on very preliminary results from one part of a larger project, The Durham Area Pilot Project: St. Benedict the Black meets the Virgin of Guadalupe. The project is aimed at identifying the evolving nature of inter-group relations among blacks, whites and Latinos, sources of the conflict or coalition among the groups, and the effect Latinos are having on the politics and socioeconomic status of blacks and whites in a Southern context, using Durham, North Carolina as the pilot city.
