Isabel Wilkerson Quotes
Over The Decades, Perhaps The Wrong Questions Have Been Asked About The Great Migration. Perhaps It Is Not A Question Of Whether The Migrants Brought Good Or Ill To The Cities They Fled To Or Were Pushed Or Pulled To Their Destinations, But A Question Of How They Summoned The Courage To Leave In The First Place Or How They Found The Will To Press Beyond The Forces Against Them And The Faith In A Country That Had Rejected Them For So Long. By Their Actions, They Did Not Cream The American Dream, They Willed It Into Being By A Definition Of Their Own Choosing. They Did Not Ask To Be Accepted But Declared Themselves The Americans That Perhaps Few Others Recognized But That They Had Always Been Deep Within Their Hearts.
