It was left Jim Crow South in hopes of a better life in Northern cities by black newcomers such as Ida Mae, George, and Robert. This described that they had to quit behind everything they apprehended, often involving elderly family members, friends, and sometimes even spouses. However, it was believed everything was greater than where they began by them like most other immigrants. This does not suggest that life is full of sunshine and roses when they arrive at their target (Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles). At many spots during the Great Migration, however, particularly during the two globe wars, it was actively demanded Black workers from the South by Northern towns. However, on arrival, the individuals who did not fully get a hot welcome were the Black employees. Although the businesses they received in the town - mostly as industry and service employees - were paid a little better than in the South, were just as tiring. In addition, many towns, such as Chicago, quickly began to struggle under the weight of so many newcomers. It was lived by most Southern immigrants in stuffy, very expensive apartments in all-Black neighborhoods. And as white workers were not particularly keen to share their living spaces, cities like Chicago and New York shifted - informally - as separated as the South. And, of course, every migrant had their own, unique stories of failure, loss, and heartbreak. And well sure, what has each immigrant was matchless tales of mistake, loss, and heartbreak. It was experienced by Ida Mae firsthand the devaluation of the Black neighborhoods in Chicago in the late 1960s when her family eventually got a fine home on the South Side of the town. Their white neighbors left the area one by one shortly after they moved, inducing welfare worth ​​to fall magnificently. In the 1990s, this once-middle-class neighborhood was signalized by misery and the resulting offense and drugs. In New York, it was tackled by George with his anger at the South and his thoughtless marriage to Inez. What brought with it, it's part of issues for the family was the town. His son Gerard got caught up in the wrong crowd and will later tackle pill addiction for the rest of his life. In Robert's situation, his seemingly accomplished, head-notch lifestyle disguised a dull marriage and a lifetime inferiority complex. Towards the final of his career, it would be gambled by him so terribly that it was not uncommon for him to gain or lose ten thousand dollars overnight. Furthermore, their judgment was not regretted by any of them. Chapter 9 - For many Black Southerners, what was a statement of liberty was leaving the South. By the end of the Great Migration in the 1970s, people who lived in the North were almost half of all Black Americans - only 10 percent when the movement started. In Chicago alone, the Black society has grown from 44,000 to over a million. Therefore, was it all deserving of it? Were the Black immigrants who left the South in the North better off? Examining increasing welfare and offense levels in northern cities, as great as house crises and revolts, by many social scientists, it was ended up that the response was "no". However, it does not take into account these analyzes of intense individual meaning the action has for many Black Americans. While the North was not the guaranteed country they dreamed of, it was regretted by few Black Southerners their judgment to leave. For many, the basic act of leaving the South was a powerful statement of their freedom as American civilians - a status they had just lately been given and something that many whites in the South actively denied. Eventually, a sense of aim and the research of well-being will overbear the losses, mistakes, and disappointments along with the path. And despite their lives were complete setbacks, those who were in the ascendant were Robert, George, and Ida Mae. After a long and glorious career, Robert died in 1997, quitting behind two accomplished girls. He was so determined to declare the fresh North identification that he never turned back to the South and was embedded in Los Angeles. By George, it was only handled to survive in the South. Although he felt safe enough to revisit the Old Country in the following years, it always made him feel uneasy. He died in 1998. Ida Mae survived both, maybe the reason for it that the happiest one of the three was her. Although she adapted to the North as required, the South never forgot its heritage. Despite living in Chicago till her death in 2004 and for more than 60 years, she was still talking with an insider Mississippi contention. The individuals who are just three of the millions of Black immigrants from the South who take their destinies into their own hands are Robert Foster, George Starling, and Ida Mae Gladney. Over 60 years and two world wars will unite, personal judgments to convert the American demographic view, culture, and community. The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson Book Review What was the most important mass migration in American history was the Great Migration. For nearly 60 years, it was left their homes in Jim Crow South to live in Northern cities such as New York, Chicago, and LA by six million Black men, women, and kids. Although each had their reasons for leaving, their moves made a change in the United States forever. While many didn't discover the carefree life, they imagined in the North, few regretted leaping forward. For many Black Southerners, immigration was a claim of their liberty.
