The Black Diaspora in the Western Hemisphere

Throughout history, many Africans have traveled outside the continent and settled away from their homeland. This Black diaspora reaches across different countries and encompasses a vast array of cultural, social, and historical contexts. Wilburn Hayden, PhD has taken it upon himself to study this expansive movement of Black people, mainly focusing on a North American setting.
