Love the podcast. Is there going to be an episode on the great migration? I think this started in the mid 30s when many blacks were working share cropper farms and moved north to escape the back braking work. This is related to the birth of the Blues music and the movement of the musicians to Memphis and then Chicago and other Northern cities. The Blues is the origin music for rocks
