Great Migration

evidence

An estimated six million Black Americans moved from the South to the North and West between 1916 and 1970, conventionally in two waves (1916–1930 and 1940–1970); around ninety per cent of Black Americans lived in the South at the start of the twentieth century and close to half lived in Northern cities by 1970. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary attributed to this reference entry and corroborating university and museum accounts; no page was opened and no census table was consulted.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
