The Great Migration refers to the movement of African Americans from the South to the North during the 20th century. It is estimated that between 1915 and 1970, approximately 6 million African Americans migrated northward. This was due to economic hardship in the southern states, as well as racial discrimination and segregation. During this time period, many African American families moved to cities such as Chicago, Detroit, New York City, and other northern cities for better job opportunities and educational opportunities.
