The black migration to San Francisco and the Bay Area differed from the mass movement of Southern rural blacks and their families into the eastern industrial cities. Those who traveled West, or arrived by ship, were often independent, sophisticated, and single men. Many were associated with the transportation boom following the Gold Rush; others traveled as employees of wealthy individuals.
