About the Book: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson tells the powerful story of the Great Migration, when nearly six million Black Americans fled the Jim Crow South between 1915 and 1970 in search of freedom, opportunity, and a better life. Through the journeys of Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Foster, Wilkerson explores racism, civil rights, African American history, migration, identity, and social change. Drawing on extensive interviews, historical records, and vivid storytelling, this landmark work reveals how the Great Migration transformed American cities, culture, and society.
