Join the Jamesons’ journey from the unforgiving 1940’s, through the turbulent 1960’s, to the triumphs and challenges of today. As part of the Great Migration in 1943, from the Southside of Chicago to Berkeley, California, Sara and Ben Jameson moved their young family West hoping to leave the past behind and make a new start. Arriving in South Berkeley, the only part of town open to Colored homeowners, the Jamesons found conditions much the same as those they had left behind. As they unpacked their dreams, in addition to the problems in their relationship, they were faced with limited employment, restricted housing, and separate but unequal education for their children. But, on closer inspection, the Jameson family discovered joy and opportunity beyond their wildest dreams. $1.99 on Kindle.
