"The Museum of Modern Art exhibition One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North brought together 60 landmark paintings by Lawrence that depict the mass movement of African Americans from the South to the North starting in 1915. The exhibition included other accounts from the era of the ‘great migration,’ like literature, poetry, music, photography and paintings. We designed a 70-foot-long timeline to illustrate the paths that African Americans traveled to relocate to seven major US cities, tying major world events and the personal timeline of Lawrence’s life to this great exodus north."
