The Great Migration of the 1910s - 1940s was both a flight and a pursuit, as African Americans moved north and west in hopes of leaving behind the South's violence and finding the freedom of equality. Journalist and author Art Cribbs tells the story of his family's pursuit of that dream in Los Angeles County, and the racism which undermined it.

Arthur Lawrence Cribbs, Jr. is the son of a Baptist
pastor and social activist mother. He is a father and granddad.
