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.

Answer 1

"Northern cities forced African Americans into segregated neighborhoods."

Although segregation in the North was usually de facto (not by law), discriminatory housing practices—redlining, restrictive covenants, real-estate steering—and violence/intimidation channeled Black migrants into overcrowded, segregated neighborhoods (e.g., Harlem, Chicago’s South Side), even as they also contributed culturally and economically to those cities.
