Great Migration: The African-American Exodus North -- Interview with Isabel Wilkerson - Author of "The Warmth of Other Suns"

transcript

"They made a choice that they were not going to live under the system into which they were born anymore and in some ways, it was the first step that the nation's servant class ever took without asking."

While taking notes on this interview, consider the following questions....

What were the causes of the Great Migration?

What types of experiences did people have in trying leave, and once they arrived in their new homes? How were they received by the people already living there?

How did this migration change America forever?

How did the stories of the individuals the author focus on help tell the story / help you understand this time period and what America was like at the time in the North and in the South?
