Between the late 1800s and 1968, while the Jim Crow laws were in full effect in the Southern United States, liberated Blacks moved north in hopes of equality. They left farms and plantations in rural areas to seek promise in the urban centers of Chicago, New York City, Detroit, and Los Angeles, which had more openings in factories (arms, steel, automobiles) due to W.W. I. By the 1970s, six million Black people had moved out of the South. This exhibition invites 12 contemporary artists—including Mark Bradford, Theaster Gates, and Carrie Mae Weems—to consider the effects this migration has had on their lives, whether it be direct or indirect. —Elena Clavarino
