About the Event
Six million African Americans migrated from the American South to points North and West between 1910 and 1970. Their goal was to find a better life for themselves and their families. However, they found new forms of racism blocking them from the American Dream. Those impediments began an ever-widening wealth gap that still impacts African Americans today. This issue demands our attention as so many people of color are denied full access to the fruits of their labor. Presenter Brett Burkey of the Florida Council on Economic Education will take us through a new lesson on the impact of this era of U.S. History and its implications for today.
