What was migration like in the 1920s?
1920s Migration: What were the major patterns and experiences?
Okay, so the 1920s, right? Massive population shifts. Think waves of people, a real human tide.
Southern and Eastern Europeans flooded in, initially. Then, bam – quota restrictions. The government slammed the brakes.
African Americans? Huge movement northward. Picture this: leaving the Jim Crow South, heading for industrial jobs in cities like Chicago and Detroit. My grandma always talked about this. She left Mississippi in '28, I think; a tough, brave woman.
It wasn't all sunshine, though. Lots of prejudice, everywhere. Even with better opportunities in the North, racism was a brutal reality. Finding work, securing housing… tough for everyone, but even harder then.
The experience was varied, obviously. Hope mixed with hardship. A complicated time. Big change.
