Concept note-1: -The Great Migration was one of the largest movements of people in United States history. Approximately six million Black people moved from the American South to Northern, Midwestern, and Western states roughly from the 1910s until the 1970s.
Concept note-2: -The Great Migration generally refers to the massive internal migration of Blacks from the South to urban centers in other parts of the country. Between 1910 and 1970, an estimated 6 million Blacks left the South.
Concept note-3: -Driven from their homes by unsatisfactory economic opportunities and harsh segregationist laws, many Black Americans headed north, where they took advantage of the need for industrial workers that arose during the First World War.
Concept note-4: -Introduction. Between 1910 and 1970, several million Black Americans migrated from the South in what became known as “the Great Migration.” This resulted in a large-scale redistribution of the Black population-nearly 90 percent of Black Americans lived in the South in 1910, but by 1970, less than half did.
