Workshop Wrap-Up Departing the Delta

The last day of the workshop opens with a presentation by Dr. Brinda Willis on the Great Migration. The Great Migration was the large-scale northern movement of southern blacks between the years of 1910 and 1970. Before the great migration, around 90% of the nation's black population resided in the south; by the end, only about half remained. Dr. Willis, who was raised in a family of 16 brothers and sisters in Attala County, MS, speaks specifically about her own family's stories within the context of the Great Migration.
