The pictures of the on-line exhibit of the second migration show the decent variety of individuals who left the south and traveled north or west.

Also, however a large portion of the pictures highlighted in the presentation highlight an extensive variety of social classes, age, and finance that were included. In any case, there are solid signs in the pictures that the second Great Migration was selective. The majority of people who were part of the great migration had already made the transition to urban life, or possibly to wage work, and who were by and large educated over their non-moving neighbors. The show's photos feature their developments by including picture of an assembly line laborer in Alabama.
