South to north
Many African Americans moved from the rural South to the urban North.
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.
The Great Migration was the movement of 1.3 million African-Americans out of the South to the North, Midwest and West between 1910 to 1930. African Americans moved to free themselves from racism, and for better opportunities in both education for children and employment and land. One destination was California, where it suppplied an abundance of jobs in industry. Between 1965-70, 14 main states contributed to the migration. Some of these included Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The Great Migration was the movement of 2 million blacks out of the Southern United States to the Northeast, Midwest and West from 1910 to 1930.[1] African Americans migrated to escape racism and prejudice in the South, as well as to seek jobs in industrial cities.

Over 1.6 million African Americans moved from the rural south to the North during the Great Migration of 1910 to 1930. Another migration period occurred from 1940 to 1970 relocating about 4.5 million African Americans to the Northeast, Midwest, and West.
The Great Migration was the movement of 6 million African Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the Northeast, Midwest, and West from 1910 to 1970. Some historians differentiate between the first Great Migration (1910-1930), numbering about 1.6 million migrants who left mostly rural areas to migrate to northern and midwestern industrial cities, and, after a lull during the Great Depression, a Second Great Migration (1940 to 1970), in which 5 million or more people moved, including many to California and various western cities. i got it from wikipedia
The "Great Migration" increased dramatically in the years between about 1910 and the early 1920s. Between 300,000 and 1,000,000 African-Americans moved north during this period, largely in response to an increased number of unskilled factory job openings as northern manufacturers boosted production for World War I. Black migration between 1916 and the 1960s remained strong, except during the Great Depression. More than 6 million southern blacks made the move to the North during this period
The Great Migration was a time when African Americans moved west for various reasons trough the 1915-1930. When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, less than 8 percent of the African American population lived in the Northeast or Midwest. By 1900, about 90 percent of all African-Americans still resided in states with slaves. There wasn't very much food while they were trying to get to the North. One reason they left was because of floods and the bug called the boll weevil that destroyed many crops. The boll weevil was a highly destructive insect that entered the United States from Mexico. It lived in the southern economy in the period between 1910 and 1920 by inflicting large amounts of damage on the region's cotton crops forcing people to move.
