Dig deeper to understand more about The Great Migration (1916-1970) when approximately six million African Americans left the South for the North, Midwest, and West regions of the United States. The first chapter starts with a background on slavery in American. Then, Tyner writes about racism, segregation, and struggles that arose after the Emancipation Proclamation. Readers will learn how and why African Americans migrated and consider different perspectives. Photographs with captions are located throughout the book, as are some thought-provoking questions that can be good springboards for discussion. Sidebars include additional information about topics such as Juneteenth, Freedman's Savings Bank, and more. At the back of the book are some suggested activities, a timeline, a glossary, a list of resources, and an index. The executive editor's letter at the front of the book explains the mission of this book and others in the History in Pictures: Read Woke Books series. Content consultants are acknowledged. Teachers will find the book and series to be an excellent supplement to United States history units on African American history, Great Migration, racism, and segregation. With this book, students will have opportunities to think more critically and analyze history. Reviewer Rating 5 --Children's Literature -- Website (11/21/2022 12:00:00 AM) Each title covers a pivotal period of history and the marginalized group(s) affected. Whether it is the incredible performers and creators of the Harlem Renaissance or the Japanese-American families incarcerated during World War II, photos and images on every spread give a face to those involved and help bring their stories to life. Each book also requests that readers critically consider all the photos, the purpose of the photographer, and who is included in the images. Reflection questions are scattered throughout the books urging readers to consider how they would feel in the circumstances described. VERDICT An excellent purchase for those looking to offer previously overlooked perspectives on historical events. --School Library Journal -- Journal (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
