How we got to the north, midwest and west.

Excellent book depicting the migration of brave Blacks from the South to various parts of the United States, Chicago, Califorman, and New York. I will read this book again.

I loved this book also. A must for anyone who loves history!

I really, really loved this. Such impeccable scholarship, & such a huge topic to have been neglected for so long...one of the ways a country disenfranchises a people within it, is by ignoring them. Bravo for Wilkerson!

this book is excellent! and, it has opened the flood gates for the next titles i want to read related the to topic, both fiction and non-fiction. has anyone read "the twelve tribes of hattie" yet?

This is one of the most enlightening and well-written histories of the Great Migration. I could not believe that police in the South would go to the train station and tear up the black families tickets to keep them from leaving. Unbelievable!

If that was me, I would pin with inside my shirt and play like I'm waiting on someone.
