about

"Black Migration" is a personal and political reflection that unpacks the history of African-Americans moving from the rural south to the urban north from 1916 to the mid-1970s. The song opens with a sound quote from former Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes who became the first Black mayor elected in the United States in 1967. Shouting out many Cleveland streets and landmarks, "Black Migration" is a critique of the social structures that have separated black families in the urban north while reminding black Clevelanders of the pride Black Clevelanders have in their city. Vocalist Will Blaze and multi-instrumentalist Robert Morrow support this track co-produced by 5ifth Element (Chicago) and Tall Black Guy.
