Question

explain the Great migration

Answer 1

The Great Migration is sometimes also known as the Great Northward Migration or the Black Migration

It was the movement of approx. 6 million African Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West.

It occurred between 1916 and 1970.

Main cause of It was a) the poor economic conditions and b)racial discrimination

In 1910, more than 90% of the African-American population lived in the American South due to this migration.

Since the Civil Rights Movement, a less rapid reverse migration has occurred. Dubbed the New Great Migration, it has seen a gradual increase of African American migration to the South, generally to states and cities where economic opportunities are the best. The reasons include economic difficulties of cities in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, growth of jobs in the "New South" and its lower cost of living, family and kinship ties, and improved racial relations.^[10]
