The correct answer is B) African-Americans began moving North seeking job opportunities.

The Great Migration is when thousands of African-Americans moved to Northern industrial cities. This is due to the increased amount of factory jobs available thanks to World War I. Along with this, African-Americans also enjoyed less discrimination in the North in comparison to the South. Even though racism existed still in the North, there were not as many Jim Crow laws that affected African Americans on a daily basis.
