African American history runs from the Middle Passage and the Amistad revolt through abolition, emancipation and the short-lived promise of Reconstruction. Black codes, sharecropping and Jim Crow followed, while the Great Migration carried millions north and the Tulsa massacre burned a prosperous district. Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee airmen, the Negro Leagues, Greensboro and Selma mark the push toward desegregation.
