What has magnified white fears so greatly is the immigrants' concentration in London and other manufacturing centers where they speak their own language, buy their own foods, make their own music. In Birmingham, some schools are more than 50% black. Sections of Bradford, a textile town that has many Indian workers, look more like Madras than the Midlands...
After the flock vanished, the press identified Bo as Marshall Herff Applewhite, a former music teacher at the University of St. Thomas, a Roman Catholic school in Houston, and choirmaster of an Episcopal church.
