The Great Migration is often split into two waves, the first occurring between 1916 and 1940. This episode is part of a three-part series in which host Kyla Williams Tate shares stories about other political and social happenings from 1916 through 1930. Who were the Presidents of the United States during that time period? Who were the mayors of the City of Chicago? Who already lived in Chicago, and who were the other new migrant populations? This episode covers it.  The video, "1919 Chicago Race Riots" from the Decades TV Network is included in this episode.
