A Century of Negro Migration Produced by Suzanne Shell, Andy Schmitt and PG Distributed Proofreaders "A Century of Negro Migration" by Carter G. Woodson is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book explores the significant movements of African Americans, particularly their migration from the Southern States to the Northern regions of the United States, highlighting the socio-political context and motivations behind these movements. Woodson aims to provide a comprehensive overview of this migration phenomenon, connecting it with earlier migrations dating back to before the Civil War. At the start of the work, Woodson presents a preface noting that the migration of African Americans is a developing socio-historical event, emphasizing the newly acquired freedom that compels the population to seek better opportunities. He references the historical context of earlier migrations, the initial thoughts about the future of black Americans, and their ongoing struggles against oppression. The opening chapters outline how various external factors, such as the influence of Quakers and the challenges of acquiring asylum in the North, played pivotal roles in shaping the migratory patterns of black Americans. Woodson provides insight into the societal attitudes faced by migrants and the legacy of slavery that complicated their pursuit of freedom and equality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
