B. African Americans moving to Northern cities during the Great Migration had a significant impact on North Carolina in the early 20th century. This movement of people, which lasted from 1916 to 1970, saw millions of African Americans leave the South for the North and Midwest in search of better economic opportunities and to escape racial discrimination and violence. As a result, many North Carolina communities lost a significant portion of their population and experienced significant social and economic changes.
