Been interested in having this discussion for a while. I live in Michigan and my grandparents are from the South ( VA, GA, AR) respectively. I understand that Jim Crow, racism etc. drove blacks from the South to North along with auto industry booming for Northern cities near lakes. But what specifically is the reason why so many blacks from Mississippi set up shop in Chicago?
