The word diaspora refers to a group of people who has similar culture or heritage. The African Diaspora specifically handles Africa’s culture and heritage and how it has scattered around or across the globe, mainly in America and the Caribbean. Those living outside of Africa focus on the evolution of African cities. During a certain time period the African slave trade was going on, which is where Africans were forcefully removed from Africa and their different ways and customs were exposed to Americans. Due to many Africans living in America, they helped originate everything we have today.
