Destination Freedom - Birth Of The Urban League

Before the beginning of World War I there was started a mass
migration within the United States that was destined to involve 2
million souls. It was a shift of 2 million Negro citizens from
southern regions to northern cities and it radically altered the
social and economic course of the country. In a chapter entitled
The Birth of a League Destination Freedom tells the story of the
greatest internal migration in American history and the story of
the League that was organized as a result of it.
