Explanation:

The Great Migration -

The Great Migration or The Black Migration or The Great Northward Migration is the movement of about 6 million African Americans from the rural southern United States towards the urban Northeast, West and Midwest region.

It was history's most rapid and the largest mass internal movements.

This migration occurred between 1916 and 1970. According to the U. S. census before 1910, around 90% of the African - American used to live in the Southern America, but by the end of the Great Migration, only 50% of the African - American population was left.
