The Great Migration refers to the movement of African Americans from the South to the urban North, between 1916 and 1970.
The Red Summer occurred due to competition for jobs between whites and African Americans after World War I. It was a violent reaction to the Northern migration of African Americans from the South.
The movement northward of African Americans between 1915 and 1930 was called the Great Migration. The need for labor, the education opportunities, and safety called to the southern blacks to move up north.
The Great Migration was the movement of 1.3 million African-Americans out of the South to the North, Midwest and West between 1910 to 1930. African Americans moved to free themselves from racism, and for better opportunities in both education for children and employment and land. One destination was California, where it suppplied an abundance of jobs in industry. Between 1965-70, 14 main states contributed to the migration. Some of these included Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
African Americans were moving to the North to work in factories.

30% of White Americans have between 2% and 20% African ancestry.
The Great Migration of African Americans from the South to the North and West between 1916 and 1970 is known as the Black Migration. This movement was driven by factors such as seeking better economic opportunities, escaping racial discrimination, and fleeing violence and oppression. The Black Migration greatly impacted the demographics, culture, and social dynamics of urban areas in the North and West.
Over 1.6 million African Americans moved from the rural south to the North during the Great Migration of 1910 to 1930. Another migration period occurred from 1940 to 1970 relocating about 4.5 million African Americans to the Northeast, Midwest, and West.
