African American: South Africa
built 198 days ago
In 1910, about 90% of African Americans lived in the South, but large numbers began migrating north looking for better job opportunities and living conditions, and to escape Jim Crow laws and racial violence. The Great Migration, as it was called, spanned the 1890s to the 1970s. From 1916 through the 1960s, more than 6 million black people moved north. But in the 1970s and 1980s, that trend reversed, with more African Americans moving south to the Sunbelt than leaving it.

After 1900 the largest group of internal refugees were African Americans fleeing the restrictions of life in the rural South. New York was one of their preferred destinations, and the growth of Harlem as the “black metropolis” was the unintended result.
