I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, but this is an AMAZING book - history that reads like a novel, focusing on 3 specific examples of folks who were part of the Great Migration, and weaving in context from tons of other research. It's gripping and (for a white kid raised knowing about Jim Crow and the Great Migration only in the most abstract way) revelatory.
