One interesting thing I learned about the Great Migration is how the place of origin often determined the destination. Migrants from Louisiana and Texas often ended up I'm Los Angeles or Oakland, whereas migrants from Georgia went to New York.

For those looking to add to their reading pile: Isabel Wilkerson also wrote a great book called CASTE: THE ORIGINS OF OUR DISCONTENTS, analyzing the caste system of America, with comparisons to India and Nazi Germany. It's a very important read for anyone wanting to better understand how our social structure has come into being, how it works, and what we can do to end it.

You really pulled off an amazing feat with this video. I talk about the Great Migration in my mass media class specifically because it was so difficult to condense. Despite being one of the most important occurrences in the 20th century United States, almost nobody knows about it because it could not be distilled to a single article or clipping. There was no singular "event" that could be pointed to, so it slipped through the cracks of the old Bennett Model for news rooms. A combination of racism, attitudes, and the traits of the available mass media of the day have made this a badly overlooked and undertreated subject. We use it as a platform to discuss the values and limits of various media, and how they may impact our understanding of history and the present. I really appreciate your distilling of this information, and I hope that it gets the attention it deserves. I'll be using it in my class.

I just watched the Migration episode of Crash Course Geography the other day, so it was neat hearing similar terms about being "pushed" out from somewhere and "pulled" towards another place for the Great Migration. Great timing!

I love the delivery of your video. The pace, tone, and timing is perfect for school age children (middle school). I was previously turned off to the crash course videos, because they were very fast paced and had to follow because of how fast the presenter was speaking. However, I can't say enough how much I enjoyed this video. Kudos!

I'm from an american country that had lots of enslaved people, and often struggle to find good material about it, so even though this series is not about my country, it still has been pretty interesting.

Sharecropping sounds an awful lot like Newfoundland's Mercantile system prior to them joining Canada (except the latter didn't have the debtor's-prison part) - just substitute poor farmers with poor fishermen, both parties getting profoundly screwed by The Man.

When did the first wave of the Great Migration occur? What percentage of Black Americans were living in the South in 1910? By 1940, how many Black Americans had left their homes in the South? What is sharecropping and why is it an unfair practice? Which industries in the North were attracting Black Southerners with the promise of higher pay? Which tactics were used to prevent Black Americans from voting? Why was it worrisome to White Southerners that so many Black Southerners were migrating out of the South? By moving North, what were Black Americans taking control of?
