evaluate the social impact of the first great migration by examining the chicago race riot of 1919. how did this event reflect the tensions arising from demographic change?

a. it showcased disharmonious integration of african - americans in the north.

b. it led to the emergence of african american political organizations.

c. it highlighted social tensions and prevalent inequality, resulting in casualties and displacement.

d. it demonstrated unequal access to housing and employment opportunities as well as severe racial inequality

Explanation:

The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 during the First Great Migration was marked by violence, casualties, and displacement due to racial tensions from demographic changes (Black migration to Chicago, white resentment over jobs/housing). Option C ("it highlighted social tensions and prevalent inequality, resulting in casualties and displacement") matches this. Option A is wrong (integration was not harmonious). Option B: the riot didn’t lead to political organizations’ emergence (they existed before or formed for civil rights, not directly from the riot). Option D: while inequality existed, the riot’s core was violent conflict, not just unequal access.

Answer:

C. it highlighted social tensions and prevalent inequality, resulting in casualties and displacement
