Question

What were the reasons African Americans migrated from the rural south to the industrial cities of the north?

Answer 1

The Great Migration, or the relocation of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North, Midwest and West from 1916 to 1970, had a huge impact on urban life in the United States.

Answer 2

The south was still prejudice against them. They were able to get jobs up here and live out their lives like any regular American.
