Where did the OP request significant black suburban populations? This is about cities, and Milwaukee has a large population that isn't recognized by the bulk of the nation, thereby being one of the most valid inclusions on this thread. People are already quite aware of places like DC, ATL and Chicago.
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in the thread or not, but Racine is another city in Wisconsin with a pretty high Black population at about 23% Black.

Good call - if it's "known" for anything, it's probably Johnson Wax and the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. It also has a great beach and a large black population, especially in the older downtown area. It's also a pretty depressing town overall, with a lot of problems.
Dallas, Orlando, Boston, and Kansas City are places that come to mind for me.
Probably no place in Florida since central and south Florida are mostly known for their Haitian, Jamaican, West Indian roots, and not African American roots.

This thread has been very informative. I always thought most black people in CT lived in either Bridgeport or Hartford. I agree that Milwaukee does not get recognized on a national level for its black population. However, I know of no black oriented events that ever occur in Milwaukee. I don't think any black churches (COGIC, Bibleway, National Baptist, etc.) have ever held any national conferences in Milwaukee, or even any Greek fraternity conferences (AKA, Delta). If those conferences are held in the Midwest it is usually Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, and maybe Indy.
When these forums pop up, im always curious to know if the OP is talking about Afro Americans or everybody that is black, since West Indian areas don't have the deep history compared to African American areas, which can be a reason why places like CT, Boston, and Florida tend to go unnoticed.

I agree with this. Most times when you hear about something black in Milwaukee its usually negative, or about segregation. Some people will look at you weird if you're a black man from Wisconsin, forgetting to realize that Milwaukee is part of the state.

There are too many Black Americans in Central and South Florida not to have a deep history. There is definitely a deep history with Black Americans as much as West Indians. My family and friends that's been there for decades is more than enough that we exist down there. Really the only ones that beat them are Bahamians.
