A powerful piece by the author of The Warmth Of Other Suns that also explains what The Great Migration actually represented: a fleeing from a vicious southern racial apartheid only to be herded and redlined into overcrowded ghettos...and periodic firebombing of homes purchased by black residents who breached the de facto wall of segregation. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Individual empowerment matters. That said, this is why #BlackLivesMatter has become so big. There are a whole bunch of people - so-called Americans - who do not agree. Some of them are even black.
