Many history books don't mention the Great Migration. Between 1920 and 1980, six million African Americans migrated from the south. They were escaping Jim Crow Laws, Lynchings, poor job opportunities, poor education for their children. Some planned for years and saved to leave. Some saw a body hanging from a tree and took off. Many of our famous African American artists managed to accomplish what they did because their parents or grandparents left the south. This needs to be in every American history book in the country. I teach it in my American History course from 1877 to the present.
