Question 9 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which best describes how the Great Migration affected Northern cities?

Answer
A
Northern cities changed very little as African Americans moved in.
B
Northern cities became as segregated as the Southern cities.
C
Northern cities forced African Americans into segregated neighborhoods.
D
Northern cities grew more diverse as African Americans shared their culture.

Explanation

During the Great Migration, many African Americans moved from the South to Northern cities, bringing their traditions, music, food, and other cultural influences. This made Northern cities more culturally diverse, so A is the best description. Discrimination and segregated housing also existed in the North, but the cities did not simply become as segregated as Southern cities.
