..."and spreads RESPECT asunder"...
..."LOOK*THINK before LEAP*SPEAKing"...
Millions migrated in the early decades of the twentieth century. The continuous flow of AmerAfrican Exodusors from southern states throughout the middle decades to the Northern and Western states has had major impact not only on the United States. Global influences of the Geat Migration can be seen throughout various components of Social Justice and Civil Rights Movements. Its cultural impacts can be seen in governments, businesses, the arts, religion and the media.
Safe in the crowded haven of an older brother's house, Dovie did not focus on the future of the world at large. She was at the very least just glad to be distanced from her husband Nathan's beatings, neglect and transitory abuse. Refuge from rural Mississippi's systems of Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder proved to be adequate preparation for a river city's systems of urban Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder. Family related dreams of betterment speak volumes to the possibilty of prosperity...or at least survival.

“I was leaving the South
to fling myself into the unknown . . .
I was taking a part of the South
to transplant in alien soil,
to see if it could grow differently,
if it could drink of new and cool rains,
bend in strange winds,
respond to the warmth of other suns and, perhaps, to bloom” Richard Wright

(Unity)
Such a unifying blessing that an older brother; who was about 15 years her senior, prepared a place for not only his baby sister, but for several other family members. In Memphis, the opportunities were numerous. From Sallis and Durant they journeyed north to a Jim Crow Rooseveltian metropolis where cotton was king. Some planned to be in Memphis for only a "gettin' up on feet" time before heading ever northward to family in Detroit. Leaving Holmes County as well was Papa and Mama, Juanita, Sam, Deeda and Lorraine, The house they all initially shared at 500 Patten was about a mile from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It was 1936. Their ultimate Jim Crow 226 Moffat Alley residence; though not electrically wired, and could not boast of indoor plumbing, was big city safehaven for Papa and Mama, Juanita, Lorraine, Dovie, Boo and baby Buddy, the first of Dovie's children to be born "up north....to strive for...to maintain unity in our family, community, nation, and race...

...grudge NOT a crust of bread...
...filch NOT the creamy cheesed pot...
...@ the bottom, there be worms...
Ordering and aligning within agreement, Great Migration Families boldly and bravely planned and agreed. There was collective planning and concerted agreement. There were Elders and Infants within the ranks of nucleur and extended family whose importance to each other made them brave enough to succeed at being visionary pathfinders. Leaving were intergenerational Robys, Zollicoffers, Bankheads and Ellis', all hopeful determined refugees. The eldest was born into a legalized system of captivity, his youngest child was pregnant and mother to a two year old. For these self determined freedom seekers; Memphis, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, some point north spoke in the voice of purpose and promise. They made a dollar out of twenty five cents, they broke the bread of collective work. Each one's responsibiliy was everyone's goal.
