Ok...

I reread your question and my answer still stands...there are people that lived thru all the crisis of that time...I wouldn't go to Africa just to get away from the oppressions of 1919, cuz you never know, that same oppression you're running from could follow you there. If the majority of the blacks had relocated to Africa during the 1920s, I can only imagine how long it would have been before the whites followed us, just to try to oppress us in our "own" land. Or you could look at the flip side, if we were all in Africa, remember we would still be viewed as "Americans" by the true "Africans", can't assume we'd all live peacefully over there...true Africans don't always get down with African-Americans...it's still that way today.
