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

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.
