The Black Migration to Innovation: How African Americans Built Wealth in the 20th Century

Key Takeaways:

1. A Move Toward Opportunity – African Americans moved to cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York, where they had better chances to find good jobs and build wealth.
2. Overcoming Barriers – Despite facing racism, housing discrimination (redlining), and job restrictions, Black workers found ways to succeed through hard work and community support.
3. Key Cities for Black Economic Growth – Cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., became strong economic centers where Black businesses and communities thrived.
4. Lessons from History and the Bible – The struggles of the Great Migration are similar to biblical stories of people moving to new lands for freedom and prosperity, showing the universal fight for a better life.
5. Building Wealth Today – The lessons from the past still apply: education, business ownership, smart investments, and political involvement are key to continuing Black economic growth.
