Though the use of the following films, I intend to portray the legacy of the migration movement by exposing students to principles of self worth, determination, prosperity, and perseverance. As a result of viewing the films, I expect the students to be able to answer the following questions. These questions along with previously noted objectives will help to retain purpose and focus for our studies.
-
1. Were there any benefits for African-Americans to remain in the South after slavery?
-
2. What was the system of sharecropping and who benefited from it?
-
3. Did African-Americans make valuable contributions to the Southern economy?
-
4. Why was the term “promised land” given to places to which African-Americans migrated?
-
5. What forms of transportation was used by the migrants? Did these change from phase to phase?
-
6. Was life better for the African-American in the north?
