DUring WW2 the African American oppurtunity's didn't change much. Obviously they were able to find more jobs in factories and such. But Also Alot of American's joined the U.S armed forces. Unfortunatly the African American's were commonly used as "cannon fodder" so that the army could test enemy deffenses or simply run the enemy low on ammo so that the white soldiers would have a better chance of victory.

What was the great migration and what problems and opportunities faced African Americans in the post world war 1 era?

The Great Migration refers to the mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to urban areas in the North and West between the 1910s and 1970s, particularly following World War I. This migration was driven by the search for better economic opportunities, escaping Jim Crow laws, and the desire for a better quality of life. However, African Americans faced significant challenges such as racial discrimination, housing shortages, and violent backlash in their new urban environments. At the same time, they found opportunities for employment in industries that were booming during the war and could participate in cultural and social movements that would shape their communities.

One view: Over so many generations of being in the New World, African Americans are no longer attached to their native Africa and have developed a unique African American culture.Another view: Because they are not nor were they ancestors from "Africa" like it is often portrayed, but are descendants of Israel. The connection is not there to Africa because it wasn't truly ever.
