While we couldn’t fit every detail of the long, complex history of the U.S. Black Belt, we recommend everyone to take a deep dive into researching it! You will find decades of activism, grassroots movements, and strong Black leadership in your search.
AMI continues to work with our U.S. Black Belt partners, amplifying their voices and building relationships and strategies that span continents. Past initiatives have supported Black farmers confronting land loss, Appalachian communities resisting displacement, and Indigenous networks defending their land and culture.
