Artist Jacob Lawrence’s “The Migration Series” is the inspiration behind Step Afrika!’s “The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence.” The series depicts the story of African Americans from the South and their Great Migration to the North. The Migration uses motifs, images and colors from Lawrence’s series to bring it to life on stage, with dance and vocals.
