How was Harlem affected by the Great Migration?

Harlem was affected by the Great Migration because when the thousands of African Americans came into the north, they took up very important space. Since all the African Americans took up space, they needed to pay for their place so they also took American jobs that left Americans without jobs. Also, since African Americans thought they had all the freedom they wanted, it started major riots when whites were determined to strike back against the new African American attitude.
