Explanation:

The Great Migration

The Great Migration known as the Black Migration, was the movement of 6 million African Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West that occurred between 1916 and 1970. The cause of this was primarily due to the poor economic conditions as well as the racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern states where Jim Crow laws were upheld.
