So, What's "Black in History" About?

This is a site curating the names of influential Black Americans, past & present, and giving them the recognition they deserve. Because Black History is American History.

If you want to learn more on my rationale and reasons for the site, check out my feature article interview with Tumblr.

This project has also been featured in a number of publications, including: Under Consideration, Awwwards Site of the Day, Designworklife, Web Designer Magazine,Tumblr Staff, Tumblr’s New & Notable, Tumblr’s Spotlight for History & Culture, Speckyboy, Web Design Ledger, and others.

Be sure to  Submit names you think deserve to be on the list.  Follow @alexpierce  Follow @BlackInHistory ×
