African American resettlement

African American resettlement refers to the movement of Black individuals and families from urban centers, often in the North and South, to new areas such as the West or suburban regions. This migration, particularly prominent during the 20th century, was driven by factors like job opportunities, escaping segregation, and seeking better living conditions. Resettlement reshaped communities, influenced demographic patterns, and contributed to the growth of cities in places like California and the West Coast. It was part of the larger Great Migration and subsequent movements, reflecting ongoing efforts for economic stability, freedom from discrimination, and improved quality of life.
