Each September, the Capital Region of New York celebrates Mississippi Day, commemorating the roots of a community born from the migration of African Americans from the small town of Shubuta, Mississippi to Albany, NY and surrounding areas.

A companion piece to Henry Louis Gates Jr's PBS original documentary series Great Migrations: A People on the Move, WMHT's North to New York: The Great Migration in NY's Capital Region is an original documentary about the history and legacy of those that left all they knew behind to make the Capital Region home.

📚 Our local libraries are brimming with creativity! Check out these displays from two libraries to learn more about the Great Migration - both locally and nationally.

📗 The East Greenbush Community Library's "North to New York" display includes a creative road heading North and a sign and bookmark informing people of dates and times they can come to the library and view the WMHT documentary "North to New York: the Great Migration in NY's Capital Region." It also includes fiction and non-fiction books for readers of all ages and abilities who would like to learn more about The Great Migration.

📕 In the Saratoga Springs Public Library's special exhibition showcasing local history, a compelling display centers on the Great Migration North to New York. This collection features various items that highlight the transformative journey of African Americans from the South during the early 20th century. Key components of the display include a flag from the I.B.P.O.E. (Black Elks) Lodge, vintage census data, illustrating demographic shifts and patterns in population as families sought better opportunities. Monographs offer in-depth insights into the social, political, and economic factors driving this migration, providing context to the era. One of the most poignant pieces is a carefully preserved letter detailing the tragic case of a possible hanging in 1925 of an African American man, which serves as a stark reminder of the racial tensions and injustices faced during this period. Together, these artifacts tell a powerful story of resilience and the quest for dignity within a challenging historical landscape. Visitors are invited to reflect on these narratives and their enduring impact on the community today. For further research, please visit the Saratoga Room, the Local History repository at Saratoga Springs Public Library.

We cannot thank these libraries enough for their creativity and contributions to highlighting this important piece of history!
