Isabel Wilkerson
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration is Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson's study of the "great migration," the exodus of six million black Southerners out of the terror of Jim Crow to an "uncertain existence" in the North and Midwest. ". . . magnificent, extensively researched . . .," says Publisher's Weekly in its starred review. Wilkerson won the Pulitzer Prize for her work as Chicago Bureau Chief of The New York Times, making her the first black woman in the history of American journalism to win a Pulitzer Prize and the first African-American to win for individual reporting in the history of American journalism.
