Summary: After the Civil War, Black Codes and Jim Crow laws kept African Americans in the South from living as equals. Between 1915 and 1930, many moved north in search of jobs and freedom. This book follows the Great Migration through the boom of the 1920s and the hard times of the Great Depression, and shows what life in the North meant for those who made the journey.
