North By South

http://www.northbysouth.org/

North by South is the result of a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar at Kenyon College. "This web page is the final product of a year long seminar researching the migration of African Americans from south to north. This seminar was the first part of a three year process to explore the reasoning, experiences, and contributions African Americans made to the greater community as they moved throughout the country." Illustrated text essays and bibliographies explore topics such as music, art, health, education, and death in African American culture at locations both North and South. Includes active message board.
