Had the U.S. Civil Rights Movement--and thus immigration reform as embodied by the 1965 Hart-Celler Act--been delayed (perhaps due to no Fall of France in 1940 and thus no U.S. entry into World War II), would the African-American Great Migration to the northern and western U.S. have lasted longer?
Basically, I am curious about this considering that, in our TL, the Great Migration appears to have ended around 1970:
Thus, what I am curious about is this--could a continued bad life in the Southern U.S. (due to Jim Crow lasting longer in this TL) combined with less immigrant labor in the U.S. (due to the 1924 immigration quota system lasting longer in this TL; for the record, less immigration labor might mean a greater demand for Black labor) have resulted in the African-American Great Migration lasting longer than it did in our TL?
