One significant response to the race-based discrimination and violence that African Americans faced in the South in the early 1900s was the **Great Migration**. The Great Migration refers to the mass movement of African Americans from the rural Southern United States to urban areas in the North and West between roughly 1916 and 1970.


Driven by factors such as racial violence, economic hardships, and the desire for better opportunities, African Americans sought to escape the oppressive conditions in the South. They migrated to cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York, and others in search of improved economic prospects, increased educational opportunities, and the hope of escaping racial segregation and violence prevalent in the Southern states. The Great Migration had a profound impact on the demographics, culture, and political dynamics of both the Southern and Northern regions of the United States.
