The decade beginning in 1920 saw the areas AfricanAmerican population more than double and Roseland experienced an unparalleled economic boom Throughout the 1950s and 1960s the Greater Roseland Area underwent a dramatic composition shift as AfricanAmerican families made these neighborhoods their homes a trend which continues to this data although the latest US Census data indicates an increase in Latino residents
