Land of opportunity - How Studebaker lured black families north in search of a better life By MAY LEE JOHNSON
According to Glen Evans, a former Studebaker employee, between 1940 and 1970, a lot of black men left their homes in the South and moved here looking for better lives.
The migration, dating to the Great Depression of the 1930s, included white and black men. But blacks weren't always treated equally by northern employers.
This migration resulted in one of the biggest population shifts in U.S. history, known to historians and many blacks in this area as the Great Migration.------------------------------------------- posted 9:05 PM :: reference link ::
