Where did African Americans move during the great migration?

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.

What drew African Americans from the south cities to cities in the north in the early 1900s?

In the early 1900s, African Americans were drawn from southern cities to northern cities primarily due to the promise of better economic opportunities and the hope for improved living conditions. The Great Migration was fueled by the demand for labor in northern industries, as well as a desire to escape the oppressive Jim Crow laws and racial violence prevalent in the South. Additionally, the prospect of more equitable treatment and the chance to build communities free from systemic discrimination further motivated this migration.
