What to do in Oklahoma on March 30, 2010
This photo from the exhibit “Journey Stories” shows a girl with her family during a migration from Florida to New Jersey in 1940. Black families traveled north during the Great Migration any way they could: on foot, by car, by train and even by packet boat. If by car, it was important to know safe places to stop along the way.
