Black Migrations 2

The theme for African American history month this year is "Black Migrations." Every Monday in February, we explore different facets of the theme. This week: Dominique Jean-Louis, a curatorial project historian at the New York Historical Society, where she worked on the “Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow” exhibition, and Gloria Browne-Marshall, professor of constitutional law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, civil rights attorney, ASALH board member and chair of the 400th Commemoration, and the author of Race, Law, and American Society: 1607-Present (Routledge, 2007), look at “The Great Migration” when millions of African Americans left the rural South for Northern cities, like New York and Newark.
