The Great Migration: Voices in Art & History

Explore how the Great Migration shaped American culture through the work of artist Jacob Lawrence and writer Isabel Wilkerson. Lawrence’s 60-panel Migration Series and Wilkerson’s book The Warmth of Other Suns both trace the movement of over six million Black Americans from the South between 1916 and 1970. This class invites you to reflect on their stories, connect through shared history, and consider how the migration continues to shape cities, art, music, and identity today.
