[Chapter 21]: "Black California & The Great Migration" in Conversation with David Peters, Rashida Chase and Dr. Mari Gray
Description
The Great Migration took place starting in the 1910’s and lasted until the 1970’s. Approximately 6 million Black folks moved from the American South to the Northern, Midwest and Western states, shaping the modern-day cities we know and love today, namely Oakland.
Join this live conversation as I discuss these experiences through the lens of Black California, specifically with first, second and third generation Bay Areans.
This conversation took place on September 30, 2023 at the West Oakland Cultural Action Network’s Land is Liberation Festival in the Storytelling Pavilion.
