Generally, a single choice can change the course of historical past. Be a part of journalist and creator Isabel Wilkerson as she tells the story of the Great Migration, the outpouring of six million African People from the Jim Crow South to cities within the North and West between World Conflict I and the Nineteen Seventies. This was the primary time in American historical past that the bottom caste folks signaled they’d choices and had been keen to take them — and the primary time they’d an opportunity to decide on for themselves what they might do with their innate skills, Wilkerson explains. “These folks, by their actions, had been in a position to do what the powers that be, North and South, couldn’t or wouldn’t do,” she says. “They freed themselves.”

MOTOWN!
LOUISIANA TO CHICAGO, SOUTH & WESTSIDE!
What are the main 3 points it for my assignment
Excellent!
This is a brilliant work based on solid research that explains the great migration of African Americans and their struggle to survive in these United States of America. I am a child of that migration- my family moved from
Waynesboro ,Georgia to Boston, Massachusetts in 1964 to seek a better life.
No one is going to speak about the Native Americans?

bro put me to sleep
She is a national treasure!
My Gosh Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor … The essence was embodied!!
We migrated from the Jim Crow south to the Jim Crow north.
Isabell’s books and many others could be the reasons why they are banning books. The research, facts and information Isabell did should be in schools and in libraries so that it can help this generation grow. But there are people that do not want that to happen.
Excellent history. Don't let it die. Highly appreciated. Thank you.
This talk serves as a poignant reminder of the critical significance of social justice, equality, and the unyielding struggle against institutionalized oppression.
Until the early twentieth century, most African Americans lived in the agricultural south of the United States, where they were primarily employed in the harvesting and processing of cotton. After the end of slavery as a result of the Civil War (1861-1865), some black citizens had the opportunity to move to the industrialized north of the country and thus escape the racism and discrimination that prevailed in the South. But this was only a small percentage of the total number of former slaves.
Later, the flow of migration increased dramatically due to seven factors:
1. World War I and the resulting loss of male population increased the demand for labor in the Northern states.
2. At the same time as the demand for labor in the North increased, the demand for labor in the South decreased sharply due to the invention of the cotton picker. Its inventor, John Daniel Rust, worked on it almost his entire life and eventually created a model that was in great demand at home and abroad.
3. The newspaper The Chicago Defender played a huge role in informing African Americans living in the South about the ways and means of relocation, the constitutional rights of citizens, the necessary legal steps involved in relocation, the demand for labor in the North, etc. The newspaper's publisher, Robert Abbott, devoted his entire career to helping African Americans. Although the paper was published in Chicago, two-thirds of its readership was concentrated in the South.
4 The invention and spread of synthetic fabrics made of artificial fibers reduced the need for cotton and thus the need for labor in the southern states.
5. The widespread use of railroad trains and then the automobile contributed greatly to the mobility of the African American population.
6. World War II again increased the demand for labor in the industrialized northern states due to the shortage of male population.
7. The extensive construction of the interstate highway system in the 1950s made any northern state in the country easily accessible to African Americans.
This huge flow of population from the southern states to the northern states (i.e., those above the Mason-Dixon line) has been called The Great Migration.
All of this is mentioned in David Halberstam's excellent book The Fifties by David Halberstam (1993)
Isabel is one of the most important and prolife writer today. Her work is profoundly important to change the deeply inbeded cast system in America. A system that was purposely design to oppress and destroy souls
..She is clear and concise in helping us understand how we've gotten so far in this great divide. Her books should be on every home shelf and every library. Thank you so much for presenting this horriffic system so clearly and eloquently. 
Shout out to our great great grandparents who made the bold decision to leave India in the 1880s to come to South Africa..
Caste system is alive and well in tx. It has been amended so transracially adopted kids are now the most persecuted
