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.

The correct answer is European exploration of other continents

The development of commercial practice has brought about profound changes in the European economic scenario. The advance of trade established the strengthening of the bourgeoisie as an economic class. At the same time, the National States in formation realized that the development of commercial practices paved the financial support of the governments through the collection of taxes.

In this context, the development of monopolistic actions in other regions of the planet has become a fundamental point of commercial activity. In some cases, these National States were looking for ways to exclusively control thriving trade routes that linked the Western and Eastern world. In the 16th century, with the discovery of the American continent, the exploration of vast territories also included colonization in this economic context.

The development of colonization undertook a historic event that marked the definitive entry of Europeans into America. In this sense, with the arrival of European colonizers, forms of use and domination of territories were organized.
