They were caught up in a brutal system of human exploitation—the transatlantic slave trade. African Americans waged a centuries-long battle for dignity, freedom, and for full involvement in American society. Their participation transformed the United States, and shaped the world we live in today. Our customs and daily practices have been influenced or remade by the efforts of African American workers, artists, activists, organizers, and thinkers. More than 35 million Americans claim African ancestry. The number of African immigrants to the U.S. increases every year. Explorers and Colonists When Africans first came to the Americas, they came of their own free will. They arrived at the same time in history as the first Europeans. During the sixteenth century, African adventurers participated inthe Age of Exploration. In the early 1500s, Africans explored Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. The African explorer Estevanico helped the Coronado expedition open up what ¡is now the Southwestern United States. During the 300 years of the transatlantic slave trade, approximately 20 million Africans were transported to the Americas as slaves. Of these, more than 400,000 were sent to the 13 British colonies and, later, the United States. We may never know a precise number, but current estimates report that more than 1 million Africans died on the journey. Today, Africans are coming to America again. From Togo, Ghana, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria—Africans are again making their way to American shores to start new lives. More than 500,000 Africans came to the United States in the 1990's alone. This is more African immigrants than had come in all the 150 years before. Today, Africans are immigrating to a country profoundly shaped by the long African experience in the United States. America is a country where people of African ancestry now hold positions of power, prestige, and influence, even as the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of segregation and ¡nequality. The United States is a country that has seen three of its most prominent African American citizens awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; the diplomat Ralph Bunche, the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and the novelist Toni Morrison. Perhaps most important, America is a country that continues to be enriched by and to recognize its African heritage. Present Past Past Participle N 903377 TTTOF?02p500 w My sister is pretty.
