The Warmth of Other Suns

The beautifully crafted true narrative about The Great Migration of millions of Black Americans out of the south to the Midwest, Northeast and West from approximately 1915 to 1970. The stories center around three individuals-Ida Mae, who leaves a poor, sharecropping life in Mississippi for a modestly successful blue-collar life in Chicago; George Starling exits Florida for Harlem and becomes a civil rights activist; George Foster, who leaves Louisiana for California, eventually becoming the personal physician to Ray Charles and enjoying success as a respected doctor.
