The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America

by bam

A thorough, cited walk through the Great Migration (roughly 1910s-1970s): why six million African Americans left the South, the three routes they traveled, the cities they built (Bronzeville, Harlem, Paradise Valley, and (in the Second Great Migration) Vanport, Oregon), and the culture, politics, and long shadow that move created. Built for homeschoolers and adult learners: every lesson has a clear objective, a primary-source pointer, an activity, and a self-check, and pairs with an interactive green/black/red migration map. Cited to the National Archives, U.S. Census Bureau, Smithsonian, BlackPast, the Schomburg Center, and standard scholarship (Wilkerson, Gregory, Grossman). Companion to the Hoodoo and Civics courses.
