Solution

The correct option is B 1920s
The Great Migration usually refers to the movement of about 1.5 million African-Americans from the South to the North from about 1910 to 1930. African Americans migrated to escape racism, get a better education, and find work in northern cities. Between 1910 and 1930, the black population of the north rose about 207 percent; Chicago's black population grew by 148 percent, and Detroit's by 611 percent.
