Was there ever a better time for black people than now in US history?

I live in [segregated] chicago and it's hard to believe that this is the best time for black people in the US. Public housing is a mess, segregation is getting worse, and the low income areas are like visiting another country sometimes.

I think location makes a huge difference here, as well as education/income status. For example, a black person living in Harlem during the 1920s during the Renaissance may have been better off than someone living in an inner-city project today. On the other hand, many avenues that people of all races take for granted today (e.g. universities, certain occupations, living wherever you want) would not have been available. 

Also, the problems you mentioned affect poor people of all races moreso than black people specifically.
