Superbly researched, this book recounts the unreported history of the migration of millions of black Americans from the rural, Jim Crow south from early 1900's through 1970's through the narratives of four migrants. Each person's journey was a different quest, personal economic, employment, educational and freedom from all manner of reprisal. The culmination of each person's tortuous journey had unintended and mixed results. This is one of my favorite history books and a must read for all Americans.
