How did the Great Migration of African Americans to the North affect the Roaring twenties and great depression?
For my english report, i have to choose a topic for writing a paper on effects that certain events had on The Roaring Twenties and The Great Depression. I'm most likely going to choose The Great Migrations of african americans to the north, but I don't quite know how this impacted the time period of the roaring twenties and the great depression, and that's the whole entire point of my research paper?
Any ideas on how the great migration affected the roaring twenties and the great depression time period?

oBusiness was booming in the 1920’s and the standard of living rose for many Americans bringing many social, economic and political changes. Inventions and technological advances transformed production and work, as well as rural and urban life.
oSocial and political changes in society brought new attitudes and lifestyles to the nation, bust some changes caused conflict.
oPopular culture was influenced by the mass media and new forms of popular entertainment and technology were developed.
oEconomic conditions affect politics, individuals and societies. Economic security became recognized as a condition of personal freedom.
The ideals of freedom and equality continued to evolve for various groups and in various ways (i.e. women’s struggle for suffrage and equal rights, African-Americans - racial tensions manifested in the rise of black nationalism, the Harlem Renaissance, the first great north migration, the response of the KKK, fear and hysteria over radicals, the closing of the open door for immigrants, and the resurgence of Protestant fundamentalism).
