"Profound, necessary and an absolute delight to read." --Toni MorrisonFrom 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America.
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.
