There are other “Great Migrations” in American history. The most noteworthy is perhaps the migration of African
Americans from South to North following WWI.
The racial composition of the nation's cities underwent a decisive change during and after World War I. In
1910, three out of every four black Americans lived on farms, and nine out of ten lived in the South. World War I changed that profile. Hoping to escape tenant farming, sharecropping, and peonage, 1.5 million Southern blacks moved to cities. During the 1910s and 1920s, Chicago's black population grew by 148 percent; Cleveland's by 307 percent; Detroit's by 611 percent.
