Here is a history based segment from Syracuse based WSYR 9's Bridge Street show of an event that took place in that city in 1864...

History happened here: National Convention of Colored Men: https://www.localsyr.com/bridge-stre...f-colored-men/
More: https://www.cnyhistory.org/2014/10/n...f-colored-men/

What is interesting is at this convention, there were representatives from places such as the bigger Upstate NY cities(Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse) and NYC, but also from Amenia(Dutchess County), Binghamton, Brockport, Canandaigua, Ithaca, Little Falls, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Rome, Troy, Utica, Watertown and Waterville(south of Utica).

This is a short video about the history of the Rapp Road area of Albany, which was a more rural environment that was developed by black Northern migrants from Shubuta MS in the 1930’s/1940’s:

Another video/Zoom presentation that is longer and more in depth:

This gives an idea of how far of a migration that was: https://goo.gl/maps/YDMXUtqQB7tvcdRr8

Some others made similar migrations from other parts of MS to other Upstate NY communities as well. An example in Wayne County: Greg Logins & Revival

A migration I’m connected to: https://goo.gl/maps/td9q1kHWETDhNUkm7

So, this gives an idea of how far some would migrate during the Great Migration.
