Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The northward migration of African Americans during the First World War led to increased tensions and resentment from white residents in northern cities, resulting in numerous race riots, such as the Chicago Race Riot of 1919. Segregation was not eliminated in the North, and while some African Americans did gain political positions, it was not a direct consequence of the migration. The South also suffered economic dislocation but this was not a direct consequence of the northward migration of African Americans.
