The Great Migration, which occurred primarily between 1916 and 1970, was driven by a combination of factors, including the search for better economic opportunities, escaping racial discrimination and violence in the South, and the allure of industrial jobs in the North. The devastation of World War I and the subsequent labor shortages in Northern factories created a demand for workers, prompting many African Americans to relocate in search of a better life. Additionally, the Jim Crow laws in the South intensified the desire to move away from oppressive conditions. This mass movement significantly reshaped American Demographics and culture.
