 Radio 94.1FM  info: kpfa.org/events  \n   \nOver the course of six decades 
 an unprecedented wave of Black Americans left the south and spread across 
 the nation in search of a better life. This migration sparked stunning 
 demographic and cultural changes throughout twentieth-century America. 
 Through gripping and accessible historical narrative paired with 
 illustrations, author and activist Blair Imani portrays the largely 
 overlooked impact of the Great Migration and how it affected - and 
 continues to affect - not only Black identity, but this nation as a 
 whole...Making Our Way Home explores issues such as voting rights, domestic 
 terrorism and segregation, along with the flourishing of arts and culture, 
 new activism, and civil rights. She shows how these influences shaped 
 America's workforce and wealth distribution by featuring the stories of 
 notable people and events, relevant data, and family histories. The 
 experiences of such prominent figures as James Baldwin, Fannie Lou Hamer, 
 El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X), Ella Baker, and others are woven into 
 the larger narrative to create a truly unique record of this magnificent 
 journey.\n\nBlair Imani is a critically-acclaimed historian, outspoken 
 activist, and dynamic public speaker. The author of Modern HERstory: 
 Stories of Women and Nonbinary People Rewriting History (2018), she focuses 
 on women and girls, global Black communities, and the LGBTQ community. \n   
      \nDavey D is host of KPFA Radio's Hard Knock Radio (HKR) is an 
 award-winning daily syndicated prime time afternoon show focusing on Hip 
 Hop culture and politics.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
