- Summary
- "This book tells the life histories of ten Black people who moved to Boston from the South during the Great Migration. Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black southerners moved to Boston, transforming the city. But almost nothing has been written about the Great Migration's impacts on Boston. This book will explore that subject through the life histories of ten individuals who moved to the city between 1943 and 1969. Each is the focus of one chapter. Their stories bring to life the history of the Great Migration and show its impact on individuals. They reveal a hidden aspect of Boston's history and shine a spotlight on a singularly important event in the making of Black Boston. They also provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community"--
