This Is the Rope: A Story from the Great Migration

During the time of the Great Migration, millions of African American families relocated from the South, seeking better opportunities. The story of one familys journey north during the Great Migration starts with a little girl in South Carolina who finds a rope under a tree one summer. She has no idea the rope will become part of her familys history. But for three generations, that rope is passed down, used for everything from jump rope games to tying suitcases onto a car for the big move north to New York City, and even for a family reunion where that first little girl is now a grandmother.
