The Black Star Line Shipping company began as a part of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1919. A fleet of ships was purchased for the purpose of providing employment opportunities to Black seafarers, facilitating trade among the African diaspora, and promoting agency. It was a symbol of Pan-Africanism and the strength of the African Diaspora across the seas.
Heritage belongs at home.
We use digital technology to document, preserve, and share heritage without taking artifacts or history from the place it is culturally relevant to.
Experience and learn from the archive virtually, travel the African Diaspora from anywhere in the world.
Curated by Jewell Ruth-Ella Humphrey. This project was initiated as part of her PhD research at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her mission is heritage preservation for the African Diaspora, so knowledge and history can be protected and shared globally.
This project is supported by the Mellon Foundation.
