Oppression, Discrimination, Bias & Racism
At the beginning of the previous century African Americans, by the millions, voted with their feet and moved to
Northern and (mid)western metro areas. They left the south to escape Jim Crow restrictions and violence and
to search for a life that would provide greater opportunities. Instead they encountered white flight, redlining and
racism. As their numbers grew Blacks became a stronger political force, which ultimately led to the expansion
of civil rights protections and the creation of a significant Black middle class. Now, more than a century
removed from the beginnings of 'The Great Migration,' a new movement of Blacks from urban locations in the
North and Midwest has returned to the South, changing the composition of southern cities and forging
themselves as a powerful cultural, economic and political presence.
