Web Site Review

In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience, http://www.inmotionaame.org/. Created and maintained by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York, N.Y. Reviewed Dec. 4–12, 2005.
Movement and mobility—forced, voluntary, and something in-between—have been enduring characteristics of African American life. On the Web site, In Motion, those activities are divided into thirteen categories. One set of categories explores movement in colonial North America and the United States: runaway journeys; domestic slave trade; western migration; northern migration; the Great Migration; the second Great Migration; and migration back to the South. Another set explores movement through the Atlantic world, beginning with the transatlantic slave trade: colonization and emigration; and immigration from Haiti, the Caribbean, and Africa.	1
There are over 16,500 pages of texts, 8,300 illustrations, and 67 maps on the site. One of the strengths of this impressive site is that it pays attention to not only well-known African-American "motions," such as the transatlantic slave trade and the Great Migration, but it also includes material from lesser-known migrations. Material in the "Colonization and Emigration" category, for instance, covers Africa, Haiti, and Canada, as well as efforts to emigrate to Trinidad and Mexico.	. . .
