I lived in Silver Spring for 3 years. I used to take walks in the neighborhoods around 16th street and this is true. Same with North Portal Estates!

They have existed for quite some time. Honestly though, they have never been "only black". Colonial Village and Shepherd Park were largely Jewish at one time.
