A major reason for the increased migration of African Americans out of the rural South during and following World War I was the search for better economic opportunities and escape from racial discrimination. The war created a labor shortage in Northern cities, leading to job openings in industries such as steel, manufacturing, and meatpacking. This prompted many African Americans to leave the oppressive conditions of the South in hopes of achieving a better quality of life and greater social freedoms in the North.
During the Great Migration, African Americans moved north to large cities due to increased oppression in the South, greater accessibility to education, and an increase in job opportunities following WWI. The most popular destination was New York's City's upper-Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem, where the increase in the population of African Americans led to the Harlem Renaissance.
African Americans left the south. Most African-Americans had remained in the south following emancipation. However, Jim Crow racism, made life difficult for them. As a result the Great Migration to the Northern cities occurred.
