Executive summary of the original bookChapter-by-chapter synopsesKey Takeaways from each chapterEditorial Review Original Book Summary Overview The Warmth of Other Suns is a re-telling of The Great Migration, in which six million black southerners migrated to the northern and western regions of the United States in the eight decades between World War I and 1970. This massive true-life tale is anchored in the lives of three real-life figures, Ida Mae Brandon Gladney, George Swanson Starling, and Robert Pershing Foster, who originated from different southern towns and migrated to different urban cities of the North at different times. They left for a personal set of diverse reasons and lived unique lives that diverged drastically from one another. Although they never knew each other and were unaware of their individual roles in one of the largest migrations movements in modern human history, these three characters were connected by a shared determination to seek freedom in a shared vision of the North.

Summary of the Warmth of Others Suns.

This is a well written book and if read by other people with different perspectives it would lead to a great discussion. If we could get past color, we will see that most people want the same things in life. Non-whites want jobs, homes, money, education for children and a safe place to live.

Wilkerson's follows three characters North to relocate from Jim Crow South. Despicable story of our past.
