Detailed explanation-1: -In 1900, about 90% of Black Americans still lived in Southern states. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the lasting effects of World War II on African-Americans was the demand of returning black veterans to receive equal rights.
