  2. Overcoming Barriers – Despite facing racism, housing discrimination (redlining), and job restrictions, Black workers found ways to succeed through hard work and community support.
  3. Key Cities for Black Economic Growth – Cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., became strong economic centers where Black businesses and communities thrived.
  4. Lessons from History and the Bible – The struggles of the Great Migration are similar to biblical stories of people moving to new lands for freedom and prosperity, showing the universal fight for a better life.
