Baby, if this documentary does not motivate you, watch it again! History has shown us that we can and we will always do it! Let’s continue holding the mirror up to this country while holding it accountable! πŸ‘πŸΎ #greatmigrationspbs #blacksky #ushistory #blackhistory

Black people! America! Shows like this remind us of who we are, what we’ve accomplished, and what we can achieve next! History is our tool, history is our future! #greatmigrationspbs #greatmigration #blackhistorymonth #blacksky #americanhistory

From 1910-1970 6 million Black people left the lives they knew in the American South for a chance in the Promise Lands of the North and West. But was the promise kept? #greatmigrationspbs #blacksky #blackhistorymonth #greatmigration
