Tracking the Migration

Moving North African Americans brought with them: Economic Despair Illiteracy Experiences and memories of racism and prejudice They also brought with them a unique culture, poetry, music and visual art

Destinations Primary spots for relocation were Chicago, Detroit and New York City St. Louis, Indianapolis and Philadelphia were also popular relocation spots. Between 1910 and 1920, the black population of New York grew by 66%, Chicago by 148%, Philadelphia by 500% and Detroit by 611%.

Population Changes

Results This migration resulted in a heated competition for employment and living space Cities grew increasingly crowded Segregation was not legal in the North like it was in the South but racism and prejudice spread throughout the populations in these locations

Summer of 1919 Black and White relations reached their boiling point The result, race riots throughout the country. The most serious took place in Chicago, The riot lasted 13 days and left 38 people dead, over 500 injured and over 1,000 black families homeless.

Impact Many African Americans ended up creating their own cities within cities. Biggest example of this was Harlem, New York. A formerly all white neighborhood, by the 1920’s Harlem was home to over 200,000 African Americans.
