Hmmm, why would a black family want to leave the south and move up north in the 1960's, think hard. :rotfl: |
Well, you know how we southern boys are with all our sheets and cross-burnings. I saw none of that in my neck of the woods back then. You show your lack of knowledge worse than I do and that is saying a lot.
I think a valid reason would have been a lot of cotton farmers started buying combines and no longer needed blacks to pick cotton. I think that was about the time the projects started going up in Chicago as well. How many are still living there after 50 years?
