Yes, exactly. Specialized racism issues exist all over the country, and this isn't only the Eastern South's problem, nor is it only an Arizona problem, etc etc etc. Heck, Boston has been trying to show African-American Organizations that it's not scary to hold conferences in Boston and that race relations really have been improving-- and I believe there has been improvement, but I understand why some orgs feel very cautious about seeking conference venues in Boston.
