Learning about the Great Migration

A Special Thanks to Ms. Williams who dropped by to teach us about the Great Migration.

We discussed causes for the Great Migration and what life was like for African Americans in Chicago after they left the South.  The students will follow up by creating their own presentation of the Great Migration and describe how living conditions have changed for Blacks in Greenville, Mississippi.

Ms. Williams is a retired history teacher who did a phenomenal job bringing the Migration to life for our students.  She did an interactive presentation that illustrated the experiences of the Migrants.
