The Great Migration was the most dramatic change in the American population in the 20th century.
Each journey was unique, yet shared a common purpose.
To be a black person in America was to live in a world of constant vigilance.
They were not just leaving; they were asserting the right to live freely.
In their own way, they all sought the same thing: belonging.
The migration reshaped cities and communities.
Many were driven by the hope of a better life.
They left behind the familiar to carve out new lives.
It was a profound quest for dignity.
They carried their history with them.
