The great migration was very influential to America.A) After the first World War were those who migrated to become the advance guard of the Civil Rights movement. B)They shaped our culture, from music to sports. On the other hand, one of the responses to their presence was fear and hostility. In these big cities that they had hoped would be refuges, they were still blocked from the American dream. B)This migration affected me because i feel as though these people had every right to follow the American dream, and they didn't have the same opportunity as others because of race. Which is something I strongly fight for. C)This event connect to present day because of the racism that still exists among Americans today
