Answer:

In 1910 about 89 percent of the nation’s African American population lived in the South. Most worked as rural sharecroppers or in low-paying jobs in cities.

During the next 15 years, however, more than one-tenth of the nation’s African-Americans would make a voluntary move to the North. From 1915 to 1920 alone,

at least 500,000African American men and women set out for a better life in the North, heading to industrial centers like Detroit, Pittsburgh, New York, and

Chicago.
