Black Migrations I
The theme for African American history month this year is "Black Migrations." Every Monday in February, Gloria Browne-Marshall, professor of constitutional law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, civil rights attorney, ASALH board member and chair of the 400th Commemoration, and author of Race, Law, and American Society: 1607-Present (Routledge, 2007), will join Brian and the callers to explore different facets of the theme. This week, we look at early forced and voluntary migrations, starting at the beginning, 1619 through 1900.
"If you think about every Westward movement you would have for any other group, it included African Americans as well. The Gold Rush included African Americans. My family members still own farm land in Kansas," says @GBrowneMarshall.
