Dancers in the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn, New York, as seen in the documentary series Great Migrations.
There’s fun footage of the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. Also: a look at the discrepancy in treatment of Cuban vs. Haitian refugees to the US c.1980. #GreatMigrationsPBS packs a lot into 4 eps. Worth watching. (My former Afro-American Studies professor Sharon Harley is thanked in the credits.)

Marcus Garvey, sitting a desk with gavel in his left hand, looking sternly at the camera.
The ep covers several notable figures in the US with African and Caribbean ancestry, including Marcus Garvey. Watching the ep, it was my 1st time ever hearing Garvey’s voice. MPOW gets a shoutout due to its namesake being of Puerto Rican and West Indian heritage. #BlackHistory #GreatMigrationsPBS

Tuesday I watched the 4th and final ep of #documentary series #GreatMigrationsPBS. The ep, titled “Coming to America,” is on the arrival—by choice—of African and Caribbean peoples to the US from the early 20th century onward. The cities of New York, Miami, and Houston are highlighted. #BlackHistory

This was good. We'll need more of this type of programming to honor are deeply rooted culture(s), especially since they're trying to discredit and erase our history. #GreatMigrationsPBS

Excited (nervous) that I’ll be appearing tonight on #GreatMigrationsPBS at 9/8c. Haven’t seen it yet but I know a ton of amazing scholars are featured.

OutKast as younguns in the mid-90s. They’re sitting on the hood of a car, looking unsmilingly at the camera.
The city of Atlanta, Georgia, gets a lot of love in #GreatMigrationsPBS ep3, which highlights its concentration of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), growth in industry resulting in the lure of jobs, Black political gains, and unique hip-hop culture. Ep4 airs Feb 18. #BlackHistory

Last night I watched ep3 of the four-part #documentary series #GreatMigrationsPBS. The episode, “One Way Ticket Back,” follows the “reverse migration” of large numbers of Black Americans back to the South, starting in the 1970s. Some of my own family returned to North Carolina by then. #BlackHistory

From 1910-1970 6 million Black people left the lives they knew in the American South for a chance in the Promise Lands of the North and West. But was the promise kept? #greatmigrationspbs #blacksky #blackhistorymonth #greatmigration
