Study Guide Great Migration Social Studies, Grade 6
THE
GREAT
MIGRATION
What
was
the
Great
Migration?
In
the
early
1990’s,
many
African-Americans
wanted
to
leave
the
south
in
order
to
find
a
better
life.
There
were
not
many
opportunities
in
the
south,
and
the
African-Americans
that
did
have
jobs
as
sharecroppers
were
losing
crops.
The
Jim
Crow
laws
were
another
reason
that
African-Americans
left
the
south.
The
Jim
Crow
laws
gave
blacks
separate
but
equal
status,
and
racial
discrimination
was
still
strong
in
the
south.
People
became
part
of
the
Great
Migration
hoping
that
they
would
leave
discrimination
behind.
New
industries
were
one
reason
that
there
were
so
many
jobs
in
the
north.
Many
African-Americans
were
given
job
opportunities
by
the
railroad
industry.
Some
railroad
workers
were
even
paid
to
make
the
trip
from
the
south.
Many
northern
cities
grew
as
a
result
of
the
Great
Migration.
Chicago,
Detroit,
and
New
York
City
saw
a
rise
in
their
African-American
populations.
The
Harlem
Renaissance
was
a
result
of
the
Great
Migration.
Life
was
better
in
the
north
for
many
African-Americans,
but
racial
discrimination
still
happened
outside
of
the
south.
