The case for a new Great Migration in the US | Charles M. Blow

NOTE

Black Migration

White terrorists in the south implemented a campaign of violence and voter suppression, leading to the creation of Jim Crow laws that enforced white supremacy. This environment, coupled with a lagging economy, triggered the great migration as northern factories recruited workers. The migration resulted in less than half of the black population remaining in the south, partly due to terrorism. The speaker suggests that black people should return to the south to regain political influence, as they could potentially control or heavily influence electoral college votes, leading to a voice in forming state-level policies and affecting national politics. This return could allow black people to play a decisive role in electing governors, senators, and influencing the presidency.
