Fort
Greene is a predominantly black neighborhood in Brooklyn, although
in recent years
gentrification took place and it has become ethnically very
diverse. Like its neighbor Bedford-Stuyvesant the area
fought hard times from the 1960s to the 1980s with crime,
drugs and poverty. In the late 90s new residents and
businesses came to the area and today Fort Greene stands for
a good example of a truly racially and economically diverse
neighborhood.
