Don't let the length of this book put you off. The author makes history personal with her masterful weaving of the stories of three separate lives that were forever changed by their participation in the Great Migration. Her interviews of over 1,000 people flesh out the full view of the movement which shaped our country between WW 1 and the 1970s as southern African-Americans set out for the north and west searching for safety, freedom, and a place they could call "home". Their successes and failures are eye-opening reading.
