Description:

From the website: "In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience presents a new interpretation of African-American history, one that focuses on the self-motivated activities of peoples of African descent to remake themselves and their worlds. Of the thirteen defining migrations that formed and transformed African America, only the transatlantic slave trade and the domestic slave trades were coerced, the eleven others were voluntary movements of resourceful and creative men and women, risk-takers in an exploitative and hostile environment. Their survival skills, efficient networks and dynamic culture enabled them to thrive and spread, and to be at the very core of the settlement and development of the Americas. Their hopeful journeys changed not only their world and the fabric of the African Diaspora but also the Western Hemisphere. "In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience presents more than 16,500 pages of texts, 8,300 illustrations and more than 60 maps. "The Web site is organized around thirteen defining migrations that have formed and transformed African America and the nation. Each migration is presented through five units: 1. A narrative, 2. About 100 illustrations, each with caption, and bibliographical, indexing, and ordering information 3. From twenty to forty research resources consisting of essays, books, book chapters, articles and manuscripts, 4. Maps, 5. Lesson plans for teachers "In addition, each migration has a bibliography (references) and a gateway of related Web sites."

Possible uses:

Teachers can find an incredible amount of resources and lesson plans related to the African-American experience from the 1450s to present day. The entire series can be used as a unit of study or a specific migration timeline can be utilized to enrich a study of American history. Images, maps and text support each migration. Classes can view the geography and timeline pages together to study and discuss. Students can find innumerable resources, with glossaries and web links, to conduct research.
