Six million Black Americans left the South between 1915 and 1970 in what Wilkerson calls the Great Migration — one of the largest internal migrations in human history. She tells this story through three people: Ida Mae Brandon Gladney from Mississippi to Chicago, George Swanson Starling from Florida to New York, Robert Joseph Pershing Foster from Louisiana to Los Angeles. Twelve years of research, twelve hundred interviews. The most comprehensive single-volume account of what Black Americans did with the freedom the South refused to give them.
