From 1900 to 1970, millions of Black Americans moved out of the South.

- Many families left the South because of racism, unfair laws, and violence.
- They moved to cities in the North and West.
- They hoped to find better jobs, higher pay, and better schools.
- Black Americans still faced racism and unfair pay in their new homes.
- Black musicians, writers, and artists helped create new music and art.
- Black scientists and scholars made important discoveries.
- The Great Migration helped change American life and culture.
