Frequently, when discussing the contributions made by the various ethnic groups to the development of New York, both city and state, not too much is said about the significant contributions made by African-Americans. It is my goal to establish an ongoing dialogue, in order to foster communication about joblessness, immigration, sexuality, relationships, religion, racism, the media, etc., and invite others to share their knowledge about topics that often receive little attention other than during Black History Month.
Through my “African New York” blog I hope visitors will gain a better understanding of our past; discuss issues presently affecting our community; and ensure hope for our future through the dissemination of knowledge.
