The Black Migration

In Their Eyes Were Watching God, African Americans traveled to other towns and cities looking for better jobs and better living conditions. The African Americans at times over crowded cities which angered the locals. Many cities in the book had more African Americans than whites or any other race. They tended to come together in specific towns more so than others. Janie for example was one of many that traveled to cities and helped overpopulate it.
