Sojourner children were children born between 1910 and 1920 to African-American migrants from the Southern United States to Northern cities such as New York and Chicago. These children were born in the North, but they were still subject to the discrimination and racism that was prevalent at the time. Sojourner children often faced poor living conditions, lack of education, and limited job opportunities. They were often forced to work in dangerous jobs, such as coal mining or factory work, and they were also at risk of being arrested and incarcerated. Many Sojourner children were unable to attend school and were forced to work to help support their families. They often lived in overcrowded and unsanitary housing and were vulnerable to disease and malnutrition. Many of them died young due to poor living conditions and lack of medical care. Despite these challenges, many Sojourner children went on to become successful in their respective fields, such as civil rights activism, education, and the arts.
