(When Donnie Gibson told his parents he was "taking a ride...)
When Donnie Gibson told his parents he was "taking a ride" the next Saturday, they well know what he meant; no one had to tell them that the "ride" was North, for Donnie was about to repeat a pattern that has become tragically common in 20th century America. Every year, at graduation time in late June, thousands of people - most of them young and poor and black - bid good-by to their loved ones and head for the cities of the North. Boarding buses and trains (such as the "Chickenbone Special") in places like Kingstree, South Carolina, and Sanford, Florida, they are part of the largest movement of human beings in history, a migratory flood that began in the 1920s and has since poured upwards of a million people a year into the city ghettos. This is their story.
