They built communities and established roots from "summary" of The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson

The migrants did not simply move to new cities; they transformed them. They brought with them their traditions, customs, and ways of life, creating vibrant communities that reflected their unique identities. These communities became their homes, their safe havens in a world that was often hostile and unwelcoming. They built schools, churches, and businesses, establishing roots that would grow deep and strong. In these new cities, the migrants found a sense of belonging that had eluded them in the South. They formed bonds with their neighbors, sharing in each other's joys and sorrows. They supported one another through difficult times, offering a helping hand when needed. Together, they created a sense of solidarity that sustained them in the face of adversity. Through their hard work and determination, the migrants were able to carve out a place for themselves in their new communities. They took on jobs that others were unwilling to do, often facing discrimination and prejudice along the way. Despite these challenges, they persevered, determined to build a better future for themselves and their families. As time passed, the migrants became an integral part of the fabric of their new cities. They contributed to the cultural, social, and economic life of these communities, leaving an indelible mark that would endure for generations to come. Their presence enriched the cities they now called home, bringing a diversity and vibrancy that had been sorely lacking. In the end, the migrants' journey was not just about moving from one place to another; it was about building a new life and a new identity. They brought with them their hopes and dreams, their fears and aspirations, and in doing so, they forever changed the world around them. Their legacy lives on in the communities they helped to shape, a testament to the power of courage, resilience, and the human spirit.
