WikiProject African diaspora aims to improve all articles related to the cultural contributions of people of African descent all over the world. The African diaspora is the story of how Africans, though scattered and dispersed, managed to preserve cultural traditions while, at the same time, reinventing their identities in places outside Africa.

Article Assessments

Project Afro assessments needs your help. You can:

Assess articles (it's ok if you're not 100% sure about where you place an article.)
Work on top importance articles first (especially the ones that aren't at least B class)

Stubs

Stub categories are meant for stub articles only. An article only belongs in one of the following stub categories if it is directly related to the category. Individuals should not be placed in one of these categories unless they are important to the history and/or culture of Africans, African-Americans or the African diaspora as a whole. Instead they should be placed acording to their nationality and or profession. The number of stub categories should be as minimal as possible.

Do Not subst the templates or hardcode stub categories into the article.
