Jewish families moved to Riverside Terrace in the 1930s since they were not allowed to settle in River Oaks.

Many White families left Riverside Terrace and settled in suburbs. In the 1960s some Whites who wanted the neighborhood to stabilize as an integrated neighborhood posted signs stating "This Is Our Home It Is Not For Sale."
