This book tells the incredible true story of the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans left the segregated American South in search of a better life between 1915 and 1970. Through the gripping personal journeys of three unique individuals—Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling, and Robert Pershing Foster—author Isabel Wilkerson shows their courage and hope. She reveals how this massive movement of people reshaped American cities, culture, and the fight for civil rights. It's a powerful story about the universal human search for freedom, dignity, and a place to call home.
