Which of the following is not a result of the Great Migration?

Many African Americans arriving in the North found prejudice in trying to rent apartments from  whites. Since arrivals wanted to live close, large black neighborhoods grew in northern cities. 
Many African Americans found northern blacks very welcoming and began to work together in  a “Back to Africa” movement. 
Many African Americans took factory jobs in cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York, and  Philadelphia. New arrivals found only low-paying jobs available. 
Many northern white workers felt threatened by the arrival of so many African Americans that  racial tensions grew and race riots broke out in several cities.
