The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration

This epic masterwork by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the greatest untold stories in American history - the decades-long migration of black citizens from the South to northern and western cities in search of a better life.

With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals, including Ida Mae Gladney who left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and voted for Barack Obama in old age.

This definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, country, and ourselves, is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of American history and the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
