Black History Timeline: 1600s to Present Day
Top of Page
Black history in the United States of America is a story of discrimination, hate, and violence. For centuries, White people enslaved, murdered, and criminalized an entire race on the basis of their skin color.
Undoubtedly, remembering this is crucially important for ensuring we never forget how modern-day’s society has been built upon a history of injustice.
However, Black history in America is also defined by examples of perseverance, struggle, and determination to defy violent oppression and fight for fair and equal rights.
Alongside the persecution, individuals and groups stood up in the face of hatred to demonstrate the excellence of Black cultures and societies.
Today, things still aren’t perfect and the legacy of a two-tier society remains in the social positions of different ethnicities, but more people are standing up in unison to call out the bad and build a more tolerant society.
