This event transformed the complexion of America and provided black people with new economic opportunities, but also disconnected them from their roots, their land, and their sense of identity. Jerkins recreates her ancestors' journeys across America, following the migratory routes they took from Georgia and South Carolina to Louisiana, Oklahoma, and California. She did this not only her own past, but the lineage of an entire group of people who have been displaced, disenfranchised, and disrespected throughout our history. -- adapted from jacket 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-278) and index. 600 10 Jerkins, Morgan |xFamily. |=^A1368853 650 0 African Americans |xMigrations |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1423837 650 0 Rural-urban migration |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1014210 650 0 African Americans |xHistory |y1877-1964. |=^A28596 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / African American Studies. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / African American. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civil Rights. |2bisacsh 650 7 African Americans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 African Americans |xMigrations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799643 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Rural-urban migration. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01101940 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1877-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 949 |i30372017371110 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s27.99 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5548114
