Description

"...Within the brief period of three years following the outbreak of the Great War in Europe, more than four hundred thousand Negroes suddenly moved north. In extent this movement is without parallel in American history, for it swept on thousands of the blacks from remote regions of the South, depopulated entire communities, drew upon the Negro inhabitants of practically every city of the South ...."Emmett Jay Scott (1873 - 1957) was an educator and publicist, known as Booker T. Washington's closest adviser at the Tuskegee Institute and as Special Adviser of Black Affairs to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. He was the highest-ranking African American in President Woodrow Wilson's administration.This book is a study of the results of the migration of approximately 400,000 Negroes from the South to the northern States during the three years following the outbreak of the war in Europe, particularly during 1916 and 1917. The lure of high wages and more independence are suggested as the real reasons for the migration. The author believes that on the whole the movement has been and will continue to be a benefit to the South, since it has brought about a change of attitude toward the Negro and has compelled the thinking classes of the South "to construct and carry out a policy of fair play." The tendency to maltreat the Negroes without cause, have, in the opinion of the author, been somewhat checked by "a reshaping of public opinion."Of the cause of this great migration, Scott writes: "Among the immediate economic causes of the migration were the labor depression in the South in 1914 and 1915 and the large decrease in foreign immigration resulting from the World War."
