It’s one of our favorite episodes ever! Join us for this thrilling conclusion to the rich stories of Ida Mae Gladney, George Swanson Starling, and Dr. Robert Joseph Pershing Foster — the three Black-American migrants we’ve followed from the South in part one. We’re peppering in the prose of Richard Wright and Langston Hughes, whose prolific careers are making their mark around this time. Our theme of the week, Why Our Families Left the South, is also continued as we interview our grandparents and great-grandparents for their tales from The Great Migration. There’s a lot to take in, but, as always, there’s still room for laughter.
