1920s
Northern cities in general had not welcomed the massive influx of African Americans. Tensions had escalated in the years prior to 1920, culminating, in the summer of 1919, in approximately 25 urban race riots.
African Americans
African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement, most notably through the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956. Sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person, the boycott involved a massive withdrawal of Black riders from the city's bus system, lasting over a year. This grassroots effort, led by figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., not only challenged segregation but also galvanized the national civil rights movement, showcasing the power of collective action and nonviolent protest. Additionally, African Americans established community organizations to support the movement and promote voter registration and education.

The massive resistance in the United States, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement, was led by various figures and organizations opposing desegregation and civil rights for African Americans. Prominent among them was Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, who spearheaded the "Massive Resistance" campaign in response to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. Local white segregationists, including some state officials and community leaders, also played significant roles in implementing this resistance across the South.
A massive number of African Americans migrated from the south to the north after World War I. The south had long been the location with the largest number of African Americans lived. The issue of race came front and center after World War I. After returning from the war, black soldiers saw no change or opportunity existed for them in the south, and many took part in the Great Migration, which at its end had 80 percent of blacks living in cities.
African American migrations started after the blacks were freed from slavery by Abraham Lincoln by the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865. They typically went to a major city north - e.g., Blacks from the Carolinas went to Washington DC and New York.
If you are referring to Africans who were brought over as slaves, they would have spoken many different languages. Africa is a large continent, and not all tribes spoke the same language. This language barrier is probably one of the things that prevented slaves from having massive uprisings. It's hard to plan a revolt if you can't communicate.
