The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was substantially driven by poor economic and social conditions due to prevalent racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern states where Jim Crow laws were upheld.
- In particular, continued lynchings motivated a portion of the migrants, as Black Americans searched for social reprieve.
- The historic change brought by the migration was amplified because the migrants, for the most part, moved to the then-largest cities in the United States at a time when those cities had a central cultural, social, political, and economic influence over the United States, there, Black Americans established culturally influential communities of their own.
