Wikipedia:WikiProject African diaspora

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, creating new identities influenced by new homelands in places outside Africa.

Wikidata generated lists

These lists are auto-generate lists that include potential Wikipedia articles related to this WikiProject, which have articles on other Wikipedias:

• African American people
• Slaves

• Black suffrage in the United States - there should be an article discussing which states, before the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, gave blacks the right to vote, and when and with what conditions, if any. Note that the right was taken away in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. deisenbe (talk) 09:40, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

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)

Articles assessed for quality: 96.9% complete
