1 Jan 1916 Jahr - Great Migration (1916-1970)

Beschreibung:

Mass movement of African Americans from the South to settle in cities such as New York and Chicago in the North
Lured them to the city with the promise of factory work and less discrimination (found poor conditions and as much discrimination as they witnessed in the South)
More than 6 million migrants
Harlem Renaissance formed as a result (segregation still existed)
KKK rose again as result
