African Americans are known for their strong sense of community and family. They are also known for their willingness to help one another out in times of need. This sense of community is strengthened by the fact that most African Americans live in urban areas where they have access to services such as grocery stores, banks, churches, schools and other resources that are not available in rural areas or small towns.
African American culture is also characterized by an appreciation of art and beauty within everyday objects like handkerchiefs or chairs or buildings — even if these objects were handmade by enslaved people who did not own anything themselves. Artisanship is an important part of African American life because it helps people express themselves imaginatively through their work.
African Americans have made significant contributions to American music since its early days as both performers and composers.
The Black experience in America is one that has been shaped by slavery and Jim Crow segregation. The Black community has developed a unique language, literature, art, music and dance that reflects their experience in America.
African Americans have a rich history of social activism and political movements. The Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s was one of the most important movements for civil rights in the United States.
