FRA EASE LURES RISING TIDE OF NEGROES TO CHICAGO
A Chicago Tribune report notes a mass migration of African Americans from southern states to Chicago and Cook County during wartime. It describes wage prospects at WPA jobs, the pull of northern opportunities, and hints at political voting constraints affecting Black migrants. The piece cites estimates of 21,000 southerners moving north between 1938 and 1958, and references urban league and Roosevelt administration impacts on migration dynamics.
