The Effects Of The Great Migration

The effects of the great migration on New York and the reasons that triggered the migration caught my attention due to various reasons. As an immigrant I migrated to New York City from Africa to get a good education that way I can land a high paying job, uplift my living condition and then improve the living condition of my family. That being said the fact that over a million African Americans left the south and moved to the north caught my attention because I want to know if my reasons of migrating to New York are similar to theirs. In other to know these I had to do some research and my three sources are as follows:

The first source is www.history.com. I am choosing this website as my source because they have lots of information about the great migration like what causes the migration, the life of the migrants in the city and the impact of the great migration. Also after maneuvering the website I found out that they have a lot of articles which relates to other histories this country have gone through.

My second source is www.history.house.gov.  I choose this website as my source because it is a government website and the information I found on the website seems legit or reliable. This website gives me another perspective of the great migration and New York City during the World War I. The website provides me broad information about the great migration and the effects it has on the work industry during World War I.

The last but not the least source is www.inmotionaame.org.  This website has lots of information ranging from the ones I already mentioned above. The website provides information on the African Americans Migrated to the North, the affects the migration has on the music and fashion on NYC.
