The Great Migration (9/02)
Great Migration

When African Americans read in a Chicago newspaper that they should move North, that opportunities were better there, many choose to take the advice. Find out when this happened and who listened to the advice in this issue of FOOTSTEPS. But, was that new life all that it was said to be? And, what did the "old timers" think of their new neighbors? What about the new employers? Read a few passages from personal accounts to form your own opinion. Then, read how many African Americans are now choosing to move south, and why. Join us for an issue that's sure to help you understand why people worldwide sometimes choose to seek a better "home" than the one they have.
