Legions of black Americans left the South to migrate to the jobs
of the North, from the meat-packing plants of Chicago to the
shipyards of Richmond, California. These essays analyze the role of
African Americans in shaping their own geographical movement,
emphasizing the role of black kin, friend, and communal
network.
