The Great Migration, the first opus of Jacob Lawrence

On this episode of The Soundpainter, host Malcolm Key explores the migration series by Jacob Lawrence. A massive series of works depicting the migration of African Americans from the South to the North. Each title of a panel in this series tells its own unique story, just as the visuals themselves do. "To me, migration means movement. There was conflict and struggle. But out of the struggle came a kind of power and even beauty.”
