Black American History Archives

An expansive digital archive documenting the Civil Rights movement, local community histories, and the pivotal moments that shaped Black America.

We are assembling a carefully sourced collection of documents, photographs, and records that trace the long arc of Black American history — from Reconstruction and the Great Migration to the Civil Rights movement and beyond.

Built alongside the legacy of the Black American Heritage Flag, these archives will make primary sources searchable, contextual, and free for families, students, and researchers everywhere.
