Answer:

The economic conditions of World War I led to a massive movement of African Americans from the South to the North, known as the Great Migration

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply put there were too many low-paying jobs in the south during this time period, so many black Americans went north for better economic opportunity.

If you need more context let me know! :)
