The "Great Migration" increased dramatically in the years between about 1910 and the early 1920s. Between 300,000 and 1,000,000 African-Americans moved north during this period, largely in response to an increased number of unskilled factory job openings as northern manufacturers boosted production for World War I. Black migration between 1916 and the 1960s remained strong, except during the Great Depression. More than 6 million southern blacks made the move to the North during this period
When many men went to war, there were positions and opportunities now open to those in the north who remained, and those from the south who moved. Partially as a result of increased opportunity, and partially because of the extreme racism expressed in the south, many blacks moved north. This mass movement was the great migration.
