The great African American migration was because the share croppers of the South decided to move to northern cities and get factory jobs. This started in 1916-1930. These African Americans were able to get factory jobs because many of the white men were in the army for World War I.

What did many African American sharecroppers in Georgia do During the early stages of World War 1?

During the early stages of World War I, many African American sharecroppers in Georgia sought better opportunities by migrating to northern cities in search of jobs in factories and other industries. This movement was part of the larger Great Migration, where they aimed to escape the oppressive conditions of the South, including economic hardship and racial discrimination. The demand for labor in the North due to the war effort presented a chance for them to improve their socio-economic status and seek a better quality of life.
