Skip to Main ContentThis guide explores Black history in the United States, using "Black" and "African American" interchangeably. Modern usage distinguishes "Black" (African diaspora) from "African American" (U.S. ethnic group). However, historical sources may not differentiate between Caribbean immigrants and African Americans and typically don't include recent Afro-Latino or African immigrants. While generally offensive now, some older resources use terms in their titles like "negros" or "blacks," reflecting the language of their time in the United States. While these terms are no longer appropriate, they're preserved in historical context, and you will need to include them as keyword options while searching library databases.
