With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals:
She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life.įrom 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America.
