Instead of only being a repository of images, this valuable site also helps you search for images and provides guidance in identifying images that directly connect to The Great Migration.
This National Archives sponsored site showcases the photos of Pulitzer Prize winning photographer John H. White who photographed Black life in early 1970s Chicago.
This site contains a curated set of primary sources. [i.e., a librarian there has already done the ground work for you.]
This site contains a recording (and the words) to Times is Gettin Harder, written by Lucious Curtis in 1940.
JSTOR also contains primary sources (in addition to being a secondary source). Simply toggle to images at the start of your search.
This site contains seven dated letters (all in 1917) to the Defender, a Black newspaper published in Chicago.
As these are NOT the actual letters, they are not true primary sources, but can provide key details for your research. If you are interested in finding one of these in its entirety to use as a primary source, let Julia know.
