In 1960, Oak Park Illinois, situated on Chicago's western border, faced a choice. Chicago neighborhoods had rapidly resegregated as black people searched for better housing and white residents fought their entry into white neighborhoods and fled when they failed to maintain segregation. Oak Parkers knew well the wholesale taking apart of community that accompanied this pattern of white fight and flight and were desperate to preserve their community. Some residents believed that if Oak Park planned for integration, managed the entrance of black home-seekers, and carefully addressed white fears of community decline and black inundation, Oak Park could be saved.

520 $a In 1960, Oak Park Illinois, situated on Chicago's western border, faced a choice. Chicago neighborhoods had rapidly resegregated as black people searched for better housing and white residents fought their entry into white neighborhoods and fled when they failed to maintain segregation. Oak Parkers knew well the wholesale taking apart of community that accompanied this pattern of white fight and flight and were desperate to preserve their community. Some residents believed that if Oak Park planned for integration, managed the entrance of black home-seekers, and carefully addressed white fears of community decline and black inundation, Oak Park could be saved.
520 $a After lengthy and heated debate, Oak Park passed a fair housing ordinance in 1968 and officially began to manage its integration. Oak Park defined integration as black dispersal, emphasizing white residents' desire for a small, evenly distributed black population that would not spark panic or decline. The Village's programs upheld Oak Park's aesthetic and educational standards, addressed rumors, paid careful attention to zoning, established block clubs, undertook economic investment, developed methods of rapid governmental response, and fostered strong community ties.
520 $a Between 1968 and 1979, Oak Park effectively controlled change from the top-down and the bottom-up. Managed integration programs allowed white and black residents to maintain their confidence in the future of the Village even as the black population grew, typically a forerunner of community decline. By 1979, Oak Parkers believed their community was stably integrated and their focus shifted to other civic issues. Oak Park, in 1980, was 85% white and 11% black and confidently touted itself as a symbol of cosmopolitan diversity.
520 $a However, because Oak Park institutionalized white racial bias about black people in its managed integration programs, it reinforced obstacles to equality. Oak Park succeeded in preventing rapid white flight and establishing stable residential integration, yet the white community balked at the sacrifices necessary to foster social integration. Therefore, black and white people live and work in integrated spaces but have not learned how to integrate their living room sofas or their kitchen tables, as is true of the nation as a whole.
