Leokris [45]

Scholarly research defined the Great Migration, which officially took place between 1916 and 1917, as "the relocation of more than 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the metropolis of the North, Midwest, and West."

  • African Americans were forced to leave their homes in quest of "progressive" acceptance in the North, or more specifically, above the Mason-Dixon line.
  • African Americans gradually carved out a new place for themselves in society as the Great Migration continued. They did this by "actively tackling racial prejudice as well as economic, political and social challenges to create a black urban culture that would exert enormous influence in the decades to come.
  • The Harlem Renaissance appeared out of nowhere, marking the development of a new urban, African-American culture.
