Great migration in World War 1?

The Great Migration during World War I refers to the movement of over a million African Americans from the rural South to urban areas in the North between 1916 and 1970. This migration was driven by the search for better economic opportunities, the desire to escape Jim Crow laws, and the labor shortages created by the war. Cities like Chicago, Detroit, and New York saw significant increases in their African American populations, leading to cultural shifts and the emergence of vibrant communities. The migration had lasting impacts on American society, including the Harlem Renaissance and changes in race relations.
