Newly freedmen moving to established African American communities like Chicago sought better economic opportunities and a chance to escape the oppressive conditions of the South. They often found work in industries such as meatpacking, steel, and manufacturing, contributing to the city's burgeoning economy. Additionally, they participated in cultural and social organizations that strengthened community ties and advocated for civil rights. This migration contributed to the growth of vibrant African American neighborhoods and laid the foundation for the Great Migration's lasting impact on urban America.
