The correct answer is D) the Great Migration.

The historical event that Zora Neale Hurston is describing in this quote is the Great Migration.

There was a time in the modern history of the United States when more than 6 million African Americans from the southern states decided to move up north. This was known as the Great Migration.

Black people who lived in the poor and rural areas of the southern states decided to move to the North and Midwest. The migration started around 1916 and finally ended in 1970.

The reason?

African Americans were tired of segregationism practices in the South and decided to migrate to the North, where the big industries needed extra hands in the factories to operate the machines during  World War I. What these people were looking for was a better life for their families.

How does the battle over the Taft-Hartley Act demonstrate the Constitution's version of checks and balances?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The Taft-Hartley Act (also called the Labor Relations Management Act of 1947), which defends workers and their rights, and has avoided many strikes since its inception, has been reformed and amended many times throughout its time of life, has been the cause of legal battles, and even a veto of President Truman, which was annulled by the Senate: demonstrates how the Constitution and its Acts are reformed, laws are debated, and seeks to achieve adjustment and review of each law of the Constitution year by year, regardless of the strong political and legal struggle that this represents.
