Wikipedia:WikiProject African diaspora

WikiProject African diaspora aims to improve all articles related to the cultural contributions of people of African descent all over the world. The African diaspora is the story of how Africans, though scattered and dispersed, managed to preserve cultural traditions while, at the same time, creating new identities influenced by new homelands in places outside Africa.

Individuals should not be placed in one of these categories unless they are important to the history and/or culture of Africans, African-Americans or the African diaspora as a whole. Instead they should be placed according to their nationality and or profession. The number of stub categories should be as minimal as possible.

Do Not subst the templates or hardcode stub categories into the article.
