Isabel Wilkerson talked about her book The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration (Random House, 2010). It is the story of African-American migration from the South to the North and West during the period of 1915 to 1970. She tells the story through the eyes of three of the almost six million people who experienced the migration.
