The Warmth Of Other Suns

The Epic Story Of America's Great Migration

BY ISABEL WILKERSON

Brief Description:
Tells the story the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping in Mississippi for Chicago. George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a glittering medical career, Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. For this book she interviewed more than 1,000 people, and gained access to new data and official records. Suggested retail $30.00 our price $27.00
