World War I triggered the Great Migration, significantly increasing the African American population in Northern cities as they sought job opportunities. This influx caused racial tensions despite the lack of formal segregation in the North, while African Americans created vibrant communities. The changes during this period shaped future social and cultural dynamics in America.
