Over the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, as many as eight million whites left the economically depressed southern countryside and migrated to the booming factory towns and cities of the industrial Midwest in search of work. The "hillbilly highway" was one of the largest internal relocations of poor and working people in American history, yet it has largely escaped close study by historians.

A fascinating look into a forgotten Midwest urban community
Revisado: 02-25-24
My father lived part of his childhood in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago. Other than an old country bar turned hipster hangout called Carols Pub, there is little to no remnant of this former community.
Growing up in the Chicago suburbs in the 80s and 90s I had a couple classmates that had some relatives in Kentucky and Tennessee, so I had some a kernel of interest in this forgotten community.
I think a lesson learned here is that communities facing economic hardship and held back by negative stereotypes can include many groups that since been forgotten about.
Definitely worth a listen.
