Lovedthis is one that personally spoke to me because I havefamily split between the South and the North and that has a lot to do with thegreat migration and this story focuses on literally a rope that has passed downfrom generation to generation.
This is the rope (2013)

Kwame AlexanderFrom the fireside tales in an African village, through the unspeakable passage across the Atlantic, to the backbreaking work in the fields of the South, this is a story of a people’s struggle and strength, horror and hope. This is the story of American slavery, a story that needs to be told and understood by all of us. A testament to the resilience of the African American community, this book honors what has been and envisions what is to be. --kwamealexander.com
