Here are some discussion questions to consider when pondering this week's reading! Feel free to use these or write about whatever you'd like about this section :-)

1) Which of our 3 figures, Ida Mae, George or Bob/Robert/Pershing seemed to adapt best to their new homes? Why do you think that is?

2) The challenges all of these families faced in their new homes were large and unexpected. Southerners were used to hearing of the joys of the North - why do you think the migrants before them didn't pass this information on, especially given how unwelcome the new migrants were?

3) How did this section reshape your understanding of aspects of US History?

4) How was the reception to the new migrants in this section similar to the reception of migrants in more recent migrations both in the United States and abroad?
