African Americans in New York (state)

African-American New Yorkers are residents of the U.S. state of New York who are of African American ancestry.

[5] Black people were brought to the state during the slave trade when New York was a Dutch colony.

[10] Many black Southerners from Southern states such as Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas moved to the state during the Great Migration.

A second Black migration wave from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica began around the same time.
