The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson

4.0

This was a lengthy, heavy read but I really glad that I chose it. I was generally ignorant of the Great Migration, just understanding/remembering broad notes from high school long ago. Wilkerson shows the plight and courage of the Black people that fought their way to a better life through 3 points of view, all derived from personal interviews and research. I'm in awe of her meticulous efforts and how she weaved it all together. I definitely haven't learned enough about the Black American experience but this was a incredible step into understanding more.
