“Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson makes clear in her new, improbably page-turning account of [the] Great Migration, [that] the black citizens who crossed the Mason-Dixon Line to reach their new homes bore many striking similarities to those who crossed the Atlantic Ocean… Wilkerson’s book reminds us how much of this country’s history is bound up in people dissatisfied with where they woke up and resolved to be someplace better tomorrow.”

—Detroit Free Press
