Between 1916 and 1970, approximately six million African Americans migrated from the rural South to northern and midwestern cities during the Great Migration. This movement was driven by the search for better economic opportunities and to escape racial discrimination and violence. Major destinations included cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York, significantly transforming the demographic landscape of these urban areas. The migration not only influenced cultural developments, such as the Harlem Renaissance, but also had lasting social and political impacts.
