A distinguished panel of experts will discuss the mass movement of African-Americans from the rural South to the urban North at the turn of the 20th century, and the ways in which it spurred seismic cultural, economic, and political changes that continue to reverberate today. Moderated by journalist and author Mark Whitaker, author of “Smoketown: The Untold Story of the Other Black Renaissance.” This event is part of Carnegie Hall’s Migrations: The Making of America festival.
