Our Take
Wilkerson traces the Great Migration through three lives — from the cotton fields of Mississippi to the factories of Chicago to the neighbourhoods of Los Angeles. The exodus of six million Black Americans is the largest untold story in American history. This book tells it with devastating intimacy.
