Description
As part of Refugee Week 2026, Lovie crafts a two hour mix that reflects on the Great Migration in the United States.
Between 1910-1970, nearly 6 million Black Americans fled the Jim Crow South in the United States to take agency of their physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional wellbeing. This mix pulls together music made by Black American artists during the Great Migration, and their descendants, to explore themes of dreaming, courage.
The title of the show is borrowed from the book of the same name by Isabel Wilkerson, and the artwork is from Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series, titled, “Migration panel 40. The migrants arrived in great numbers” (1940-41).
