Detailed explanation-1: -The First Great Migration (1910-1940) had Black southerners relocate to northern and midwestern cities including: New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. When the war effort ramped up in 1917, more able bodied men were sent off to Europe to fight leaving their industrial jobs vacant.
Detailed explanation-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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
