When we discuss countries with large Black populations, many immediately start to think of countries on the continent of Africa. However, Black people aren’t just in those countries, we can see them all over. Places such as Asia, South America and even Europe have countries with large Black populations that may surprise you. Many scholars and historians consider those individuals to be part of the “African Diaspora” — which refers to Black people outside of Africa. 

The term, African Diaspora originated during the 1950s but that migration of Black people took place long before they created a name for it. It was associated with Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trade where millions are Africans from Western and Central Africa were taken to the Americas and the Caribbean. 

For years, social media influencers — like Jessie Woo — has discussed the Haitian history along with Black history. We dive into the brief history and the Black population of each country.
