Detailed explanation-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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Between 1910 and 1930, the African-American population increased by about 40% in Northern states as a result of the migration, mostly in the major cities.
