Most blacks lived in the Southeastern states. But in the nineteen twenties, many blacks moved to cities in the North.

Black Americans proceeded to move due to poor living conditions in the rural areas of the Southeast although they later discovered that life was also difficult in the Northern areas due to the cold climate. There was bad employment and bad housing. White people were also degrading and violent towards black African Americans. This is a pure example of racism.

The years just before and after nineteen twenty were difficult for blacks. It was a time of racial hatred. Many whites joined the Ku Klux Klan organization. The Klan often terrorized blacks. Klan members sometimes burned fiery crosses in front of the houses of black families. And they sometimes beat and murdered blacks. 

The Ku Klux Klan also acted against Roman Catholics, Jews, and foreigners. But it hated blacks most of all. This determines that the 1920's were a stage of depression rather than prosperity, significantly for the African Americans. At this stage, America was socially underdeveloped, meaning there was lots of racial conflict, violence, and anti-diversity beliefs.

Another big step for African Americans during the 1920's was that between 1865 - 1995, they underwent the Civil Rights Movement.
