WHO are these Iconic African-Americans on the US map above?

On July 4, 2026 something phenomenal will occur in our country, and every American is an important part of it. On that day, the United States of America will commemorate its 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of

independence, the Semiquincentennial.

The eyes of the world are once again strongly focused on this nation. Interest in America's history is at an all-time high. Thoroughly intertwined in the making of this country are the stories of African-Americans who were brought to this land involuntarily and who in some ways have touched every aspect of its development.

Recent polls and surveys confirm the most pronounced interest in African-American culture since 1977, when Alex Haley’s classic “Roots,” and the T.V. mini-series it spawned, created a wave of heighten awareness about African

American history and all things related, i.e. music, food, traditions, etc.

.

While attempts are being made to suppress, distort, and even totally erase African American history, every state and many cities across the country are proudly sharing with the world the African-American “cultural treasures” that

are a part of their destinations’ tourism appeal.
