Welcome to BlackPast

BlackPast is dedicated to providing reliable information on the history of Black people across the globe, and especially in North America. Our goal is to promote greater understanding of our common human experience through knowledge of the diversity of the Black experience and the ubiquity of the global Black presence. Welcome to the largest online encyclopedia on African American and Global African history on the Internet.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH ON BLACKPAST.ORG

For the month of March BlackPast.org will feature Black women from around the world who are profiled in our global encyclopedia.  Some of these women will be easily recognizable to many but others less so.  All are here, however, because they have contributed in some way to world history.  Click anywhere on the image and you will be taken to the BlackPast.org profile of the woman or women.
