Making a Way Out of No Way - African American Women and the Second Great Migration

The Second Great Migration, the movement of African Americans between the South and the North that began in the early 1940s and tapered off in the late 1960s, transformed America. Over seven years, Lisa Krissoff Boehm gathered oral histories with women migrants and their children. In extended excerpts from the oral histories, this book offers a unique window into African American women's history.
