ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Warmth of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson tells the compelling story of the Great Migration, the mass movement of African Americans from the South to northern and western cities between 1915 and 1970. Through the personal narratives of three individuals—Ida Mae, George, and Robert—the book explores the hardships, hopes, and triumphs that defined their journeys. Wilkerson uses narrative nonfiction to illustrate the emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants, shedding light on their resilience. The book highlights the migration's impact on American society, culture, and the civil rights movement, offering deep insights into this transformative historical period.
