The migration of African Americans from and within the Southern United States is characterized by several significant movements throughout history:

What was the migration

The Great Migration (Early 20th Century): Saw African Americans leaving the South for Northern and Western cities, seeking better economic prospects and escaping racial segregation and violence.

The Second Great Migration (1940s–1970s): Continued the trend of migration from the South to Northern and Western cities, driven by economic opportunities during and after World War II.

Liberian Exodus (1820s and 1830s): Involved the relocation of free African Americans to Liberia in West Africa, led by the American Colonization Society, aiming to establish a society free from racial oppression.

Internal Migration within the South (Post-Reconstruction): Highlighted movement within Southern states, as African Americans sought economic opportunities or escaped sharecropping by migrating to urban centers within the South.
