While history often frames the migration story around labor and male mobility, Dr. Sanders highlights the ways Black women shaped this movement as caregivers, wage earners, and cultural architects. From leaving the South in search of safety and opportunity to building networks of support in northern cities, Black women were at the heart of transforming Black life in America.
