Create a Migrant's Scrapbook from the First Great Migration
In this activity students examine documents from the period of the First Great Migration of African Americans to the North. As they look at the documents, they take notes to build a character of a migrant. Then they create a scrapbook that shows their characters' personal journeys and experiences during the Great Migration. This activity can be part of a unit that includes the film <em><a href="http://ashp.cuny.edu/ashp-documentaries/up-south/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Up South: African-American Migration in the Era of the Great War</a></em>. Â Students will need art supplies such as construction paper, tape or glue, scissors, and markers to make the scrapbooks.

Map of Railroad Routes Followed by Black Migrants
Immigration and Migration
African-American migrants to the North chose their destinations primarily based on their state of origin: those from Georgia and the Carolinas headed to cities along the eastern seaboard like New York and Philadelphia; migrants from Alabama and Mississippi headed for the Midwestern cities like Chicago; and those from Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee often headed west to California.
