For this Socratic Seminar, have students read “The Stirrings of Discontent,” which is a chapter from Isabel Wilkerson’s The Warmth of Other Suns. 

After the seminar, lead a reflection in which students answer the following questions:

• What factors caused the Great Migration?
• In what ways did the Great Migration impact Black communities in the North and the South?
• How did the Great Migration change the way that structural racism manifested in the United States?
• To what extent did the Great Migration improve the lives of Black migrants from 1900 to 1960?
