For a Black family, courage, hope, and despair in just the right measure can lead to the unthinkable including a move across country to a place where they had never been and knew no one. It was 1943 and theirs was the first generation, as part of the Great Migration, to settle in mass outside of the South. Moving to Berkeley, California included wishes for a nice home, good schools, and good jobs. But what they got instead was many of the harsh realities they had left behind. Join this family as they navigate the insidious effects of the 1940s, the struggle of the 60s, expectations of the 80s and the significance of today. $0.99 on Kindle.
