Goin' to Chicago--the story of America's great migration

It was the largest internal migration in United States history. It would transform our cities and the landscape of rural America-yet remains, in the words of writer Robert Coles, "One of the great unsung sagas in human history."

Why did people leave?--and what happened to them in the "Promised Land" to the North? Watch the television premiere of the award-winning documentary Goin' To Chicago-and discover a missing page in America's history.

"Goin' To Chicago glows with insight and humor-its a beaut!" --Studs Terkel, Chicago writer and broadcaster.
