Focus on the Great Migration

By Dr. Artika R. Tyner

During the Great Migration, a large number of Black Americans relocated when faced with segregation and poor economic conditions. While the places they moved to weren't free from racism, they fought for a better future.

Read Woke™ Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
