The Great Migration and the Civil Rights Movement were two pivotal events experienced by the southern African American population during the 20th Century. Each has received considerable attention by social scientists and historians, and a possible connection between the two phenomena has been speculated. However, no systematic investigation of the effect of migration on protest during the Jim Crow era has been conducted. In this study we use data for 333 southern communities to examine the relationship between youthful black migration between 1950 and 1960 and the occurrence of sit-ins early in 1960. We find a strong positive, non-linear, relationship between net-migration and the likelihood of a sit-in which can be explained by two sets of mediating influences: local demographic conditions and local organizational presence. Our findings offer strong empirical support for an association between southern black migration and protest during Jim Crow and suggest the value of considering the influence of demographic forces on collective action.

Characterization of Y chromosome diversity in newfoundland and labrador: evidence for a structured founding population.
Eur J Hum Genet
January 2025
Sequence Bioinformatics Inc., St. John's, NL, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - The population of Newfoundland and Labrador primarily descends from 18th-19th century settlers from England and Ireland, with genetic studies showing it's an isolated founder population with limited diversity.
- - A study analyzed 1,110 Y chromosomes and identified 160 distinct haplogroups, predominantly of the R1b type, mirroring the haplogroups found in English and Irish populations.
- - The research highlighted geographical and religious clustering within the population, indicating that historical settlement patterns and limited immigration have shaped the genetic structure of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Investigating temporal bone variation of colonial populations from St-Lawrence Valley, Quebec: A 3D geometric morphometric approach.
Am J Biol Anthropol

Département d'Anthropologie, Laboratoire de Bioarchéologie Humaine, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Objectives: In Quebec, genetic and genealogical research are used to document migratory events and family structures since colonial times, because bioarchaeological analysis is limited by poor skeletal preservation. This article aims to fill this gap by exploring past population structure in the St-Lawrence Valley from the French (1683-1760) and British (1760-1867) regimes using morphological variation of well-preserved temporal bones.
Materials And Methods: 3D geometric morphometrics shape data from seven populations (five Catholics of French descent and two Protestants of British descent; n = 214) were collected from temporal bones.

Background: This study aimed to detect the impact of politics, security and health on the escalation of road traffic accidents (RTAs) and their consequences in Iraq for the period 2015-2020.
Methodology: The data of this cross-sectional study were obtained from the annual reports of RTA statistics from the Central Statistical Organisation of the Iraqi Ministry of Planning. The statistical analysis of data was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
The impact of strike action on healthcare delivery: A scoping review.
Int J Health Plann Manage
May 2023
Institute for Lifecourse Development, University of Greenwich, London, UK.
Background: Strike action carried out by healthcare workers raises a range of ethical issues. Most fundamentally, as a strike is designed to disrupt, it has the potential to impact patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. This paper synthesises and analyses the empirical literature that details the impact of strike action on healthcare delivery.
