Join us in this second lecture as we explore the lives of Black migrants in five cities: New York, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta. We will examine how African Americans reestablished community in these cities. Where did they work? What businesses did they create? How did they gain political power? What were their leisure outlets? We will answer these and many other questions.

One ticket will be good for BOTH lectures!

While restructuring their economic, social, spiritual, and cultural communities, Black migrants often found themselves at the hub of contestation over physical, social, and political space. Black residents frequently became targets of white animosity in cities across the country and were subjected to varied modes of racialized social control, from the legal to the extra-legal to the categorically violent. Nonetheless, millions of Black people created new worlds and found success, changing America forever.

Join us for two ninety-minute lectures/discussions as we explore the dynamics of Black migration and work to understand what made people reestablish life elsewhere. We will examine how their courage and perseverance provide lessons for us all.
