Introduction/Lesson Set:
I would first ask students what they knew of the 1920s and its relationship with African
Americans. What events were taking place down in the South? Jim Crow? Civil Rights coming
about? KuKluxKlan? I would explain that while learning about the Harlem Renaissance they
may have heard something called The Great Migration and that we were going to look at that
event a little more thoroughly.
