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.

What was the causes and effects of japan growing military power?
Nataly [62]

Answer: Imperialism.

Explanation:

Japanese imperialism was most evident in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until World War II. That was the reason the Japanese were continuously arming themselves. Japan sought to achieve its imperialist aspirations to the detriment of its neighbors, and for a long time was the most powerful factor in the Far East. By the above, Japan fought during the Second World War on the side of Germany precisely because of its efforts to implement its imperialist aspirations through war.
