Case Study: Second Great Migration

Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

During the Second Great Migration, most of the Black population had to settle into overcrowded and under-resourced neighborhoods. Which was a consequence of living in these areas?

Answer
A
There was a unique cultural renaissance, similar to the Harlem Renaissance, in every overcrowded neighborhood.
B
There was limited access to quality education and health care, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
C
There was a boom in Black-owned businesses, leading to economic prosperity within these communities.
D
There was an economic upturn that allowed these communities to build additional housing and increase resources.

Explanation

Overcrowded, under-resourced neighborhoods often lacked well-funded schools and adequate health-care services. Limited access to these essential resources made it harder for residents to improve their economic circumstances, perpetuating poverty and inequality. Therefore, the consequence was limited access to quality education and health care.
