Abstract

This article delves into the author's personal family history and their ties to Mississippi. It highlights the experiences of the author's grandmother, who faced racial violence in Mississippi but eventually moved away. The author's mother also distanced herself from the state and passed on this sentiment to her children. However, the author and their mother later decided to move to Mississippi, driven by a sense of connection to their heritage and a desire to reconnect with their roots. The article also touches on the broader impact of the Great Migration on Black families and explores the complex relationship between Mississippi and the author's family.
