The Great Migration Vol. 5 — Go West: The Second Migration and the California Dream (KID-FRIENDLY EDITION — Interactive)

Black history books for young readers and families — The Great Migration Vol. 5: Go West: The Second Migration and the California Dream (KID-FRIENDLY EDITION). The larger second wave west — defense work and shipyards, Central Avenue and Seventh Street, Houston as a city that also received, and the western bargain. Executive Order 8802 (1941) opened defense jobs; it did not desegregate the armed forces, and the FEPC it created had hearings and publicity but no enforcement power. The Sugar Hill housing fight was won in Los Angeles Superior Court in December 1945, and Proposition 14 passed on November 3, 1964 with 65 percent of the vote before the courts struck it down. Written for younger readers in read-aloud-friendly language, with picture cues and a Talk About It prompt in every chapter — same facts, same chapters, same receipts. Inside the Interactive Edition: the complete book — all 6 chapters, full text · recorded narration by Marcus — 20 minutes 49 seconds, every chapter read aloud · a chronological timeline that jumps to the chapter behind each date · a 10-question educator quiz drawn strictly from the text · every chapter closes with its sources and a method note — contested numbers are printed as attributed ranges, never as tidy single figures. The chapters: 1940: The Door Opens Again · The West Coast Stream: From Louisiana and Texas to California · Shipyards and Defense Towns: Oakland, Richmond, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland · Central Avenue and Watts; Seventh Street and West Oakland · Houston and the Cities That Were Both: The South That Also Received · The Western Bargain: Sunshine, Covenants, and 1965. For educators: a TEKS correlation sheet for this volume maps it against the adopted Texas standards, claiming only what the sheet claims.
