You helped me ace my social studies test on the great migration.

[@readingthroughhistor]

Good deal :-)

[@90times4]

Disagree with the statement that the movement wasn’t caused by threats

[@rssypoli3638]

You are absolutely correct. As a teacher who is now teaching The Great Migration, I am forced to clarify that statement.

[@standupG1]

This is what happens when others tell our story.

[@pluto17dre]

Right!

[@tamarakirson3542]

Disagree, also. This is when I decided not to use this video, unfortunately.

[@accent77]

I suppose that's why most of the blacks stayed in the South? Were they not threatened? If it was so bad, why did they not leave too?

[@TheIncomparable]

2:15 i guess lynchings and starvation aren't immediate threats these days.

[@ThePinkMan]

I think by "immediate threat" he meant something like a pogrom-type situation, as opposed to the general violence and poverty blacks had to deal with in the South.

[@shantaemcintyreshaniimindless]

Exactly what I thought, statement was wrong and should not be justified.

[@rorymosley9356]

I think he meant an immediate threat such as a war or a famine that would affect everyone

[@jeremybeau8334]

Being shot by an white cop with anger problems or a racist duo of a father and son asshloes with rifles could count as lynching?

[@ja403]

@@jeremybeau8334, what is holding a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach count as? What does armed robbery count as? What does serving time in prison count as? What does using counterfeit money count as? Sometimes choosing a life of crime catches up to you by way of crossing paths with a bad cop.

[@marshall9003]

[@papee94glitter]

What paintings have you used? I could recognise one is the migration series by Jacob Lawrence. What was the other one?

10/10. Great work. Showed to all my classes. Couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed it. Doing god's work, friend.

[@darwinharris4143]

At 2:15 how come there was none? Lynchings were still occurring.

[@90times4]

Darwin Harris I noticed that, his narrator is a clown

[@accent77]

Bro, there were 245 lynchings of African Americans during the entire decade of the 1920s. Obviously the million African Americans who moved during the decade were not all under an immediate threat of being lynched. law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingyear.html

No. The Great Migration is a chapter in our book "The Roaring Twenties."

My dad and his brothers went north for jobs. If you lived south, you were restricted to poverty. He was white and his brothers.

[@leightonjulye]

Here we go againwhat were the reasons for the so-called great migration

[@readingthroughhistor]

Jobs in Northern cities and escaping discrimination in the South.

[@DvineWakandandian_Warrior]

Josie France it’s not crap it’s history. Show some respect.

[@DvineWakandandian_Warrior]

Hater.

[@t-51bpowerarmour77]

@Josie France wow you disrespectful Zoomer, this is a HISTORIC EVENT and your “yawning” at it? I doubt you are, probably coming here, bad grades, trying to impress your friends “ooh I want to be popular! I’ll act like a toddler and not like history!” Like your mother probably (hopefully) said: If you don’t have anything good to say don’t say anything
But it’s the internet, you probably think your protected by your mommy’s account and alias.

[@t-51bpowerarmour77]

@Briana Ramos I doubt either will happen

Why the music must be included, boggles the brain... spoils the video usage!

Nice background music to a horrible thing that took place

[@thehow2Collection]

So is that why the South became poor? Because so many people left?

[@readingthroughhistor]

No, they were poor prior to that.

In ww2, the germans did the same with the undesirables. I cant but help getting that vibe. We even call the places they were taken to "ghettos" just like germany. Gets the noggin joggin.
