This is an American History class that is reading The Warmth Of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. We have taken on one of the characters in this book. From this point foward, we will blog the Great Migration journey of George Swanson Starling. We will blog once a week, so please follow us through this magical journey.

Post 5
As I was on my way to New York, I couldn't help but think that my own people were mad at me because I was trying to help them make more money. I was angry. But most of all I was hurt. I was hurt because all I was trying to do was help them make more money. Now, I have to leave my wife and my father. I HELPED THEM EARN MORE MONEY IN A DAY THAN THEY MAKE IN A WEEK. But at the same time I was happy I was getting out of Eutis, Florida. It is like I was getting a new life. I left for New York on April 15,1945 (my birthday.) As I was on the train dozing off, I said to myself that, I will never go back to Eutis, never. New York here I come.
