THE GREAT MIGRATION Jacob Lawrence

What are the reasons African Americans left the South?

Life in the Rural South When wages were paid, they averaged about 75¢ a day before World War I. A minister from Alabama commented, "The Negro farm hand gets his compensation hardly more than the mule he plows; that is his board and shelter. Some mules fare better than Negroes."

I am fed up With Jim Crow laws. People who are cruel And afraid, Who lynch and run, Who are scared of me And me of them. I pick up my life And take it away On a one-way ticket— Gone up North, Gone out West, Gone -- Langston Hughes, One Way Ticket (1949);

How did African Americans travel to the North? Under what circumstances were they traveling?

What did African Americans hope to find in the North? What realities did they face upon arrival?

It was like I was doing a portrait of something. If it was a portrait, it was a portrait of myself, a portrait of my family, a portrait of my peers. Jacob Lawrence ( ) Source:
