Question

african american migration to the north during and after world war i was a result of ______.

a. the success of affirmative action programs

b. the success of the civil right movement

c. availability of new factory jobs

d. racism in the military services

Explanation:

Affirmative action and the civil rights movement gained traction much later (mid-20th century), so A and B are incorrect. While racism existed in the military, the primary driver of this migration (the Great Migration) was the high demand for factory workers in Northern cities during WWI, as European immigration stopped and war production boomed.

Answer:

C. availability of new factory jobs
