A Comprehensive Guide to America's Black History Sites
The Black History Travel Guide explores the struggle for racial equality that begins when slaves were first brought to America via the Jamestowne Colony in Virginia through the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement.
Covering 25 states and Washington, D.C., the sites featured here tell the most compelling stories over the past 400 years that preserve our Black history. The stories are many and often heartbreaking but should never be forgotten. We encourage Americans to visit and support these historic sites.
