Orbert Davis' Soul Migration draws on the stories of the 6 million African Americans who took part in America's 'Great Migration', fleeing the Jim Crow South to the industrial North. A seven-movement epic across time and space, Soul Migration celebrates the consciousness of a people and the enduring communities that they build.
