This quote kinda surprises me. That whole area of New England always seemed to welcome blacks. I've worked with more professional blacks in NE than anywhere else.....even Detroit.
It shouldn't. The percentage is still quite, quite low. A friend's daughter by one of his previous wives is from Minnesota or somewhere like that and has no idea how to handle the blacks in Louisiana.

Another friend, a black pentacostal preacher, is from Oaklahoma and had to school his son about the hazards of dating in rural Louisiana.

A look at the census bureau maps is rather illuminating.
