Question

which best describes how the great migration affected northern cities?
northern cities changed very little as african americans moved in.
northern cities became as segregated as the southern cities.
northern cities forced african americans into segregated neighborhoods.
northern cities grew more diverse as african americans shared their culture.

Explanation:

The Great Migration involved a large - scale movement of African Americans from the South to the North. When they moved to Northern cities, they brought their unique cultural elements such as music (e.g., jazz), food, and social traditions. This led to an increase in cultural diversity in Northern cities.

• The first option is incorrect because African Americans' arrival did cause changes.
• The second option is wrong as Northern cities were not as segregated as Southern ones in the same rigid, legally - enforced way (though there was still discrimination).
• The third option is inaccurate as it was more about de - facto segregation in some areas rather than a universal forced segregation into neighborhoods for all African Americans in the sense of a widespread, uniform policy.

Answer:

Northern cities grew more diverse as African Americans shared their culture.
