THE GREAT MIGRATION

DC can seem a nice town, but it has a history.....
It was the first big city really hit hard by negro migration, The Great Migration

The connection between D.C. and the Tar Heel State dates back to the early 1900s, when millions of African Americans started leaving the South and moving to cities in the West and North. The six-decade mass movement known as the Great Migration is among the stories at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opens to the public on Saturday.
The Great Migration helped reshape the character and composition of cities ranging from San Francisco to New York — and D.C. is no exception.

The October 23, 1916, edition of The Washington Times featured a story titled “South Unable To Put Stop To Negro Exodus.”

Under the postmodern Whig interpretation, these DC negroes consider themselves the only true Americans, the ones whose slave labor single handedly built what their white oppressors profited from, America.
