The great migration was a big movement for African Americans. The great migration was when a big majority of the African Americans moved north from the south to work on farms and in factories. Even though they still faced discrimination in jobs and when they attempted to get houses to live in.
Another movement would be the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was the rebirth of the African American culture, than involved art, poetry, and a lot of Jazz. Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes and many other African Americans were famous at this time.
Hope this answer helped you with your question
For many African-Americans (then called Negroes), the 1920s were a time of social change. The war (today called World War 1) was over, but even though black soldiers had fought bravely, many found the same old restrictions held them back. In the south, segregation remained the law, and educational opportunities, along with employment opportunities, were quite limited. But up north, exciting things were happening in places like Harlem (a part of New York City): a number of black artists, poets, authors, playwrights, and musicians were making a positive impact, and getting their work noticed. This era came to be known as the "Harlem Renaissance." Many blacks also migrated to cities like Chicago because they heard there were opportunities for jobs, as well as a thriving music scene. And others moved to cities like Philadelphia, because there were greater opportunities for education, and a wider range of occupations that they could pursue. So, the migrations were inspired by frustration with how limited their lives were in the segregated south, and the hope for a better life up north.
