Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What happened to Harlem from 1905?

    Model answer

    Mass black migration made it a major black district and a centre of culture during the Harlem Renaissance.

  2. 2

    What were the Chicago (1919) and Tulsa (1921) riots?

    Model answer

    Outbreaks of white violence against black communities; the Tulsa riot destroyed the prosperous Greenwood district ('Black Wall Street').

  3. 3

    What were the Watts (1965) and Newark (1967) riots?

    Model answer

    Major uprisings in black inner-city districts, sparked by poverty and clashes with police.

  4. 4

    What was 'white flight'?

    Model answer

    The post-1945 movement of white families out of cities to the suburbs (e.g. Levittown), deepening de facto segregation.

  5. 5

    How did Harlem become a black neighbourhood?

    Model answer

    Overbuilding left landlords with empty property, black realtors such as Philip Payton let it to black tenants from 1905, and white residents left as the population grew.

  6. 6

    What was redlining?

    Model answer

    The Home Owners' Loan Corporation's practice from the 1930s of marking black neighbourhoods as hazardous, so mortgages were refused and the areas decayed.
