About This Episode

The Great Migration of 1915-1960 saw over six million African Americans move from the rural South to the big cities of the North and West. This episode tells the story of the battle for control of the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district in New York City – one of the most intense periods of racial conflict in recent American history, which led to a split in the alliance between American blacks and American Jews.
