518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1994. 
520    The migration of African Americans from the rural South to
       the cities of the North and West during and after World 
       War II is retold through personal stories of a group of 
       Chicagoans born in the Mississippi Delta. Goin' to Chicago
       chronicles one of the most momentous yet least heralded 
       sagas of American history - the great migration of African
       Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North 
       and West after World War II. Four million black people 
       created a dynamic urban culture outside the South, 
       changing America forever. Goin' to Chicago traces this 
       history through the personal stories of a group of older 
       Chicagoans born mostly in the Mississippi Delta. They 
       share their bitter recollections of sharecropping - owing 
       half of each crop to the landowner, each beginning back-
       breaking labor in the fields at ten. A steelworker, 
       newspaper editor, blues musician and others movingly 
       recall their journeys up Hwy. 61 to Chicago in search of 
       comparatively well-paying factory jobs. On the South Side 
       they built a vibrant city-within-a-city of thriving black 
       businesses and civic institutions, proudly referred to as 
       "Bronzeville." They recall that after World War II 
       increasingly self-assertive and prosperous blacks led a 
       bitterly resisted struggle to open up fair housing 
       opportunities outside the ghetto. But just as the American
       Dream was coming into reach for some, the steel mills and 
       stockyards closed, leaving newer immigrants trapped in 
       decaying public housing projects and inner-city despair. 
       Goin' to Chicago is a moving tribute to a generation of 
       African Americans who struggled - and triumphed - over 
       odds as great or greater than other immigrant groups. 
       "Goin' to Chicago is a saga...It glows with insight, humor
       in adversity and hope. It's a beaut!" - Studs Terkel. 
       "Adds tremendously to our understanding of one of the 
       largest human migrations...A compelling story all 
       Americans should see." - Earl Lewis, Provost, Emory 
       University. "Powerful and evocative...The triumphs and 
       tribulations of an entire generation are encapsulated in 
       this film." - Jacqueline Jones, Brandeis University.
