The great migration was the movement of 1.75 million African Americans from the southern states to the Midwest, Northwest, and western parts of the country between 1910 and 1930. Black people migrated to escape racism and seek work in industrial cities. They moved to cities where there were more job and education opportunities, and the ability to vote. Though they found work in cities, discrimination continued, and European immigrants rejected black people. However, the migration did help reduce differences between racial groups over time.
