Thesis (M.A.)--University of Arkansas, 2007.

In this film, I create a hypothesis of why and how my maternal grandparents participated in the Great Migration of the early twentieth century, which took them, like millions of African Americans, from the rural South to the urban North. The purpose for creating a hypothesis was to fill in the gap of knowledge regarding my family's Southern roots and to explore and understand how this gap developed and influenced my family's cultural memory. While producing this film, I tried to answer the following questions: How was life in rural Alabama for my grandparents and African Americans in general at the turn of the twentieth century? What precipitated their move from the South to the North? What expectations were met or not met once they moved? How did my grandparents' decision to move change their lives and the lives of future generations in our family? And how did the migration change the socioeconomic, cultural and political landscape of the United States during and after the migration? To answer these questions I first researched my family's genealogy and conducted interviews with family members. I traveled throughout the South to photograph what remained of my grandparents' hometowns and to immerse myself in unfamiliar environments. I researched scholarship to compare and contrast historical interpretations of the Great Migration. I also researched African American art, music and literature of the early twentieth century to understand the development of a new Black consciousness, the New Negro movement, and its relationship to the Great Migration. Finally, I produced a film in the first-person narrative which tied together all of the elements in my research and chronologically followed the lives of my grandparents from their births in rural Alabama to their deaths in Cincinnati, Ohio. In terms of my family's history, I discovered the migration pattern of my great-great relatives who migrated to Alabama from Virginia and Georgia. This information was vital to begin my family's journey in a historical context. However, learning that Will and Emma Evans, the second set of great grandparents I described in the film, owned land in Alabama shattered my preconceived notions about life in the South for African Americans. The minor and major discoveries about my family's history and the research on the Great Migration and its implications in US history helped to develop a hypothesis about my family's heritage and why some second generation Northern African Americans, such as myself, have been disconnected from their Southern roots.
