The Warmth of Other Suns

the Epic Story of America's Great Migration
Feb 17, 2018
One of the best books I have ever read! I have commented on this previously but wanted to mention it again in celebration of Black History Month. This book tells the stories of four individuals escaping the Jim Crow South. Each story is backed up with data, but without compromising the flowing narrative. This book is so well written that it's even used as an example in the writing manual Sense of Style! It's meaty, but broken into smaller sections, and the stories are so riveting that you'll want to keep going. It doesn't matter whether you're into history or non-fiction, anyone with a heart will be drawn into this stunning telling of the Great Migration.
