The Harlem Renaissance

Ex of two million black people left the south, heading to detroit, chicago. Pennsylvania. It was a boom in american industry. But what so many migrants didn't realize at the time is that there were being brought north and points west and east to break strikes. So you go to new york and you find out that you are scab, and so you knowyouhave to make a decision. For so many black people, being in the northeast, being out west, was better than staying in the south and infacing the kind of violence and political repressionthat made life intolerable for so many african Americanans.
