Contemporary artists and writers reflect on the Great Migration and
the ways that it continues to inform the Black experience in
America The Great Migration (1915-70) saw more than six million
African Americans leave the South for destinations across the
United States. This incredible dispersal of people across the
country transformed nearly every aspect of Black life and culture.
Offering a new perspective on this historical phenomenon, this
incisive volume presents immersive photography of newly
commissioned works of art by Akea, Mark Bradford, Zoe Charlton,
Larry W. Cook, Torkwase Dyson, Theaster Gates Jr., Allison Janae
Hamilton, Leslie Hewitt, Steffani Jemison, Robert Pruitt, Jamea
Richmond-Edwards, and Carrie Mae Weems. The artists investigate
their connections to the Deep South through familial stories of
perseverance, self-determination, and self-reliance and consider
how this history informs their working practices. Essays by Kiese
Laymon, Jessica Lynne, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts, and Willie Jamaal
Wright explore how the Great Migration continues to reverberate
today in the public and private spheres and examine migration as
both a historical and a political consequence, as well as a
possibility for reclaiming agency. Published in association with
the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Mississippi Museum of Art

Through images and texts both historical and contemporary, this
book looks at the Great Migration and its profound and ongoing
impact This thoughtful interweaving of text and imagery presents a
variety of perspectives on the Great Migration (1915-70), the mass
exodus and dispersion of millions of African Americans out of the
South. Through archival photography, newspaper clippings, maps,
journal articles, book excerpts, and ephemera such as family
recipes, the book immerses readers in Black history, the Great
Migration, and its legacy. The book includes texts by authors
ranging from W. E. B. Du Bois and Jean Toomer to Toni Tipton-Martin
and culminates in a candid roundtable discussion about familial
migration stories among some of the most respected Black artists,
writers, and scholars working today: Theaster Gates, Kiese Laymon,
Carrie Mae Weems, and others. The material is presented in three
unique, thematic sections that explore the Great Migration's impact
on the American city, Black Southern foodways, and cultural
expression. Taken as a whole, this important volume provides
powerful testimony to the systemic challenges such as social
segregation, racism, and discrimination that Black communities have
faced from the post-Emancipation period to the present moment.
