Question

The years 1915-1940 saw the great african-american migration, when millions of african-americans migrated from the south to the north. how did world war ii help foster this massive migration? how did this migration affect life in both the south and the north?

Answer 1

They wanted to avoid racism and segregation and get jobs in industrialized civilized cities in the North. World War 2 helped because it opened a lot of job positions that needed to be filled because of the mass production of war necessities. Migration helped them establish themselves because the South was always cruel to them.
