Wow. What an amazing read. I was intimidates by this book when I initially picked this book up due to it's length and font size. But Wilkerson's ability to weave narrative and facts about the Great Migration is so seamless and it made for a very quick read. 

There is such rich history in this book. Definitely a must read.

We were supposed to read this for class but after student complaints the district ruled it wasn’t appropriate for a high school class.

Obviously a book about the Great Migration will include hard to discuss topics. This book does not hold back and is very honest.

Great book on a topic barely covered. Long and tedious read at times.
