The Great Migration, Jim Crow Laws and Discrimination Against African Americans

The great immigration period in the Jim Crow era was an important time for exercise for American African Americans. Between 1910 and 1930, the population suddenly increased in African-American society, which ultimately resulted in the beginning of a major immigration. As a result, the increase in the black population affected them to find opportunities for better work, land and family security. In addition, one of the main factors that forced African Americans to emigrate was the influence of Jim Crow's laws and practices.

In the postwar era many African Americans from the South thought that North is a culmination of freedom and opportunity, unlike the strict Jim Crow law and the southern racial discrimination policy. When a large number of people enter the town, competition will occur in employment, housing and land. Racial discrimination occurs in employment, deliberately making the staff mainly white. Unequal employment opportunities create unequal housing opportunities for most black communities. With the mass migration, the rapid rise in Detroit 's black population has intensified the pressure on housing shortage. Blacks are often converted from bank loans to houses and interest rates and rents are unreasonably exaggerated to prevent blacks from entering the white community. This is a black Detroit institution - leaving another important aspect of the history of Detroit after the war

In the 1960's Jim Crow's racial discrimination model for African Americans was still in Louisiana. By 1960, the proportion of African Americans in Louisiana fell to 32%, due to the large migration of blacks to the north and the west and the growth of other groups within the province. 1,039,207 black citizens were adversely affected by apartheid and deprivation of civil rights. African Americans are suffering from unreasonably discriminatory application of provincial registration rules for voters. As there were better opportunities elsewhere between 1965 and 1970, the blacks continued to emigrate from Louisiana and the net loss exceeded 37,000 people. In the second half, some people began to move to a new southern city to look for opportunities.
