There is a photograph. Chicago’s Polk Street Depot, Sept. 1920—8 figures against a plain wall, 2 battered suitcases between them. Weeks earlier in Paris, TX, 2 sons were lynched, their sisters raped, the family driven out. The image endures as proof: of flight, of what drove it, and of how long the fight for the smallest measure of human decency can take.

They called it the old country. Not some distant ancestral land in Africa ipassed down in myth or memory—but Mississippi. Georgia. Alabama. The South. Before the first Great Migration, Black families who left that soil for the North spoke of it the way European immigrants spoke of Ireland or Poland: a place left behind, a place remembered, a place escaped.

On August 21, 194 years ago in less than a month, Nat Turner led a revolt. Dozens died. But what haunted white Southerners wasn’t the blood—it was the intention. The reading. The prophecy. The belief that enslaved people could think, lead, and judge.
