The Warmth of Other Suns / Isabel Wilkerson

The Warmth of Other Suns: the epic story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson. 622 p.

A fascinating look at a period of history that was never covered in my high school history classes: the great migration of African Americans from the Jim Crow South to the North. Wilkerson grounds her book with in-depth discussion of the lives of three specific people, which illuminates the more general discussions. Well worth reading.
