When African Americans moved from south to north the great migration.
Leaving the South was not about economic opportunity or living a 'higher moral life'. The Great Migration was about African Americans starting over and making sacrifices for future generations. The journey north represented not the end of a struggle but only its beginning.
An example of a pre-1950 migration stream is the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural Southern United States to urban areas in the North, particularly between 1916 and 1970. This movement was driven by factors such as the search for better economic opportunities and escape from segregation and racial violence in the South. Cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York saw significant increases in their African American populations during this period.
The primary economic factor that contributed to the migration of African Americans from the South to the North in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the search for better job opportunities and living conditions. The industrialization of Northern cities created a demand for labor, while the oppressive sharecropping system and Jim Crow laws in the South limited economic prospects and civil rights for Black individuals. This migration, often referred to as the Great Migration, allowed many African Americans to escape poverty and seek a more equitable life in urban areas.
The Great Migration began to reverse itself because of the changing economy. The southern economy began to grow again and there were more job opportunities in the south.
The Great Migration was the movement of 6 million African Americans out and improving racial relations have all acted to attract African Americans.
African Americans went to Northern cities for better opportunities.
In the Great Migration, which took place in 1910-1930, millions of African Americans "migrated" to the Midwest, Northeast, and West of the United States from Southern states such as Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. A second movement -- New Great Migration -- has been occurring since 1965 and is essentially the reverse of the Great Migration, with African Americans moving to the "New South" where job growth exceeded that of the North and racism/discrimination has abated.
North
The large scale migration of African-Americans from the agricultural south to the industrial north during the twentieth century came to be known as the Great Migration. More than 6 million blacks moved out of the rural south to the Northeast, Midwest and West to compete for manufacturing and other jobs in northern cities. By the end of the Great migration in the 1960's, African-Americans had become an urbanized population. More than 80 percent lived in cities. It was one of the largest and most rapid migrations in history.
The Great Migration refers to the movement of African Americans from the South to the urban North, between 1916 and 1970.
