Detailed explanation-1: -Jim Crow laws kept them in an inferior position relative to white people, and they were denied political rights. There were more jobs available in the North, and, though racism was rampant, racial segregation was not mandated there. They embarked on the Great Migration seeking economic and social opportunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -A variety of push factors and pull factors were the cause of this massive migration.
