In particular, <em>The Chicago Defender<\/em>, under the leadership of its socially conscious founder Robert S. Abbott, exhibited extraordinary leadership during this movement, by encouraging the move North, publishing stories about career opportunities in Northern cities, and even employing Black women journalists on the <em>Defender<\/em> staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These lessons will explore the lives of the men, women, and children who lived in the South, but desired to move North in pursuit of a better future. In particular, they will emphasize the extraordinary challenges young girls and women experienced when migrating north, and their experiences once they arrived in northern cities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These lessons will also emphasize the remarkable women journalists who reported for <em>The Chicago Defender<\/em> and the intersection of journalism and activism during the Great Migration, demonstrated by women like Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Ethel Payne. These women used their pens to highlight the realities of the struggles of everyday life in America during the Great Migration, and particularly the challenges and experiences African American women and young girls faced.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lesson Series Learning Objectives:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students will examine the role the <em>Chicago Defender<\/em> newspaper played in encouraging African Americans to migrate North in search of economic opportunities.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students will evaluate the unique contributions of African American women journalists during the Great Migration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lesson Series Essential Questions:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What would it take for you to leave everything you knew behind?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did two waves of Black migration impact the landscape of major US cities?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What role did African American newspapers play before, during, and after the Great Migration?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What major contributions to American culture can be attributed to the Great Migration?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why are there so few records of migration stories in the American archive?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What role did the Great Migration play in shaping the American Dream story?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What role did women play in the Great Migration?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__nav-link\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title-wrapper\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title\">Lesson<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content\">\n<p><em>This lesson was produced through a generous annual fellowship <em>for digital education on American Women\u2019s History or Early American History<\/em> funded by the Chicago Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Materials &#8211; Available for Download in the Downloads Tab:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A copy of the &#8220;Women of the Great Migration, Part I: Letters from the South&#8221; lesson<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letters to the <em>Chicago Defender<\/em> from women hoping to emigrate north<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copies of lantern slide images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gallery Walk handout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exit Ticket handout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lesson duration: 50 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Questions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What role did women play in the Great Migration?&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What unique challenges did African American women face during the Great Migration?
