"57. The female worker was also one of the last groups to leave the South".
"3. In every town Negroes were leaving by the hundreds to go North and enter into Northern industry."
"9. Another great ravager of the rops was the boll weevil."

The Great Migration by Jacob Lawrence
I am a writer and a professor of English at the City College of New York, and the CUNY Graduate Center. My books include Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman (1979), Invisibility Blues (1990), Black Popular Culture (1992), and Dark Designs and Visual Culture (2005). I write cultural criticism frequently and am currently working on a project on creativity and feminism among the women in my family, some of which is posted on the Soul Pictures blog.
