101 Words1 Page

The majority of New Orleans residents were poor African Americans that didn 't have the funds to leave or migrate somewhere else. Even after 11 years the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is still visible. The government may have rebuild the french quarter resulting in a steady tourist rate, but once you go further into the city, you still see the poverty and destruction the cities poor regions were left in.

  • Positive And Negative Effects Of The Great Migration

    The Great Migration and/in the Congregation The Great Migration was the migration occurred within the United States between 1910 and 1970 which saw the displacement of about seven million African Americans from the southern states to those in the North, Midwest and West. The reasons that led thousands of African Americans to leave the southern states and move to the northern industrial cities were both economic and social, related to racism, job opportunities in the industrial cities and the search of better lives, the attempts to escape racism and the Jim Crow Laws that took them away the right to vote. As every social phenomena, the Great Migration had both positive and negative effects; in my opinion the Great Migration can be considered a negative development in the short and medium term, but, if we analyze the benefits brought to the African-American communities in the long term, their fight for integration has shaped the history of the United States in its progress to democracy and civil rights.
