The African diaspora is made up of communities of people of African descent who live around the world. People of African descent may not have been born in Africa, or may not have lived there, but they are still connected to the continent and to one another. Although each community in the African diaspora is unique, they all share a common history of oppression and fighting for freedom. The people in the African diaspora are all influenced by their relationship with Africa’s history, culture, traditions, and stories. Many people in the African diaspora continue to fight for positive growth and change.
