“Each September, the Capital Region of New York celebrates Mississippi Day, commemorating the roots of a community born from the migration of African Americans from the small town of Shubuta, Mississippi to Albany, NY and surrounding areas. A companion piece to Henry Louis Gates Jr’s PBS original documentary series Great Migrations: A People on the Move, WMHT’s North to New York: The Capital Region & the Great Migration is an original documentary about the history and legacy of those that left all they knew behind to make the Capital Region home.”

What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
