"Moving North: African Americans and the Great Migration 1915-1930" by Monica Halpern explores the profound and transformative journey of African Americans during the Great Migration. This period saw millions leaving the rural South for urban centers in the North, driven by the search for better economic opportunities and an escape from oppressive segregationist policies. Halpern delves into the personal stories, struggles, and hopes of these migrants, highlighting their contributions to urban culture and society. The book examines the challenges they faced, including racism and adaptation to new environments, while also celebrating their resilience and the rich tapestry of their experiences during this pivotal era in American history.
