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.
