The move from Mississippi to Chicago… Returning black soldiers find it hard to adjust to new world post war. Many families in the South decide to move to urban centers like Chicago to work in factories as farms were going out of business

The New Black Economy… Neighborhoods in cities like Chicago now have loads of new rural immigrants from the South Some African American families find success and become the new Black Middle Class, filled with workers, merchants, etc These new consumers need entertainment…they have the money & time to consume But, at the same time the Ghettos are filled with struggling Black families…some have talented young black musicians, anxious to find a way out of poverty…
