Africa - American Migrations

"All communities in American society trace their origins in the United States to one or more migration experiences. America, after all, is "a nation of immigrants." But until recently, people of African descent have not been counted as part of America's migratory tradition. The transatlantic slave trade has created an enduring image of black men and women as transported commodities, and is usually considered the most defining element in the construction of the African Diaspora, but it is centuries of additional movements
that have given shape to the nation we know today. This is the story that has not been told.
In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience presents a new interpretation of African-American history, one that focuses on the self-motivated activities of peoples of African descent to remake themselves and their worlds. Of the thirteen defining migrations that formed and transformed African America, only the transatlantic slave trade and the domestic slave trades were coerced, the eleven others were voluntary movements of resourceful and creative men and women, risk-takers in an exploitative and hostile environment."

African American Research Center

For many African Americans, tracking down ancestors can present a unique set of challenges—few cultural groups face as many obstacles when it comes to family history research. Often, a lack of credible documentation can make the journey both difficult and time-consuming. Fortunately, a vast collection of resource materials are now available and locating key information and records can often be done online at home or at your local library. As with any family history research, it all comes down to a question of persistence, know-how, and even a little luck.

One of the purposes of the festival was that of presenting to New Yorkers a more varied choice of films depicting the human experience of people of color in a context different from the usual museums, cultural centers and universities to which these films have been relegated in the past ten years.

physiological, psychological, metaphysical and social elements which define and bind the Diaspora “together”.

South African Research and Archival Project

This project began as an effort to identify, locate and describe documentation about the diasporic relationship between blacks in South Africa and the United States. However, the reality is that the apartheid regime so rigidly restricted opportunities for relationships within and especially outside the country that many blacks were forced to migrate to neighboring countries and beyond where they reside for long periods of time. Indeed, many of them had children born abroad but who retained an identity with South Africa. During the liberation struggle, for example, many black South Africans migrated to Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania and other countries where large settlements/camps were established and operated essentially as autonomous areas. And as the South African government became more and more abusive, outside individuals and groups could only offer opportunities effectively to those black South Africans abroad. This was especially clear in the case of scholarship and other kinds of assistance that was provided by groups in the United States, the focus of this project. The concept thus includes black South Africans in southern Africa generally. In addition, several of the pro-South Africa groups in the United States were racially integrated; therefore, while the emphasis is on black Americans, other groups receive attention as well.
