My dad's family lived in rural Illinois, my mom's family lived in rural Wisconsin. There families came from Europe. My dad's family came to Lake county in the late 30's and 40's. They never knew what racism was. Everyone in their small town was white.

Great migration was only black families but white families, too .South had no jobs, so everyone headed north. My dad and all his brothers went north.

Even though it's known that white terrorism fueled The Great Migation, the following census figures are largely unknown for some reason. Louisiana had average black population of 926,200 from 1930-1970 which was 226,600 larger compared to 699,600 in 1920, Alabama had an average black population of 958,000 from 1930-1970 which was 56,300 larger compared to 901,700 in 1920, and Mississippi had an average black population of 960,200 from 1930-1970 which was 25,500 larger compared to 934,700 in 1920. Meanwhile, despite that Georgia had an average black population of 1,106,200 from 1930-1970 which was 101,400 smaller compared to 1,207,600 in 1920, one will come across narratives that the black residents of Georgia experienced a lesser degree of white terrorism than the black residents of those other three states during the period.

This is the reason why groups like "Black Lives Matter" exist. And yet people today (mainly right wing republicans ) have the nerve to accuse Obama of dividing the Country. Hmm, how could that be when the Country has always been divided. They want everyone to just forget what had happened and pretend that there are no repercussions of the grimm history, and that racism , and white priviledge does not exist. while that also a big Lie because it does exist.

This is Black people's potato famine. Black people's holocaust. Black people's political and religious persecution. The sad part is while "immigrants" proudly discuss and share their struggles to achieve the American Dream, Black people are discouraged from talking about the horror of their existence in this country because it can't be discussed without exposing the relentless, horrific treatment they experienced at the hands of white people. Even the Statue of Liberty represents the lie - most Blacks I'm sure don't know that the French who gave the symbol to America wanted slavery to have a prominent place on the statue to represent a real part of the country's history. America wanted to continue the lie that slavery either didn't exist or wasn't that bad so the compromise was to put the chains down on her ankle under her robes where it's barely visible, just like the people the chains represent. So when you look at her Black people aren't represented, continuing the view that Black people are insignificant and are not a part of the fabric of this country they've given so much to. Most Black people have people in their families that were a part of the migration and have heard the stories of their transplant north and how hard they worked under horrific discrimination to achieve the American Dream. They need to be shared and kept alive just they are with the Jews, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, etc. What Black people achieved under DAILY sub-human conditions is amazing and should be recognized and celebrated every day in Black families.

I strongly recommend Isabel Wilkerson's book, The Warmth of Other Suns. Its one of the best books I've ever read. It was an eye opening read on a part of american and black history that needs to be told and taught. It particularly sheds light on post civil war treatment of black farmers and the injustice of the share cropping system. Sadly, the migration led to a total disconnect of many northern blacks and their southern roots.

In the first half of the 20th century no Southern state other than Georgia experienced two straight decades of net decline in black population while Georgia experienced three straight decades of net decline in it's black population. Despite this dubious distinction, Georgia has figured less prominent than other Southern states in writings regarding the Great Migration for some strange reason. Why ? Because racism had more to do with the Great Migration than any other particular dynamic, the numbers wouldv'e shown the most racist state in the South wasn't Alabama or Mississippi, it was Georgia
