Can't forget the National museum of afro american artists in Roxbury as well as Malcolm X's House/Malcolm X Park. The mosque Malcolm X founded is right across the street fom One United Bank, th e largest black owned bank in the country which is based in Boston and owned by black folks in the area. The mosque is also next door to the Grove Hall Mecca shopping Center, a black creation.
Hopefully when the NAACP has their national convention in Boston next heat they partner with diverse attractions and locals and don't just do the black heritage trail, smh. Hell take people to New Editions housing project of that what it takes.
That's cool, but it's tired and sort of cliche. It has little to nothing to do with black boston now and African Americans make up less than 3% of the neighborhood it's located in.
Im sorta tryna go towards practical attractions /destinations in black or diverse areas/off the beaten path/where you'll learn more about modern boston/where you can see international black culture.
If you go to the heritage trial you'll likely be the only black people there. The only time I ever walked that trail was on a school field trip. It's also a painful reminder that black people in Boston have been getting pushed further out of the core since the 1700s.

It is still a part of the community's history and sadly, history that many people likely do not know much about, but should.
To keep things on track, another aspect or group that adds to the diversity of Boston's black community is the migration of some black Canadians from the Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Price Edward Island. Some references in regards to that part of the community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Dixon
If surnames are an indication, the black population in New Orleans is as French, Spanish, and Italian as the black population in any other city. Some of French origin include Arceneaux, Benoit, Cormier, Francois, Joubert, LeBlanc, Navarre, Pichon, Toussaint, and Vigne. Some of Spanish origin include Arriola, Cruz, Francisco, Gallardo, Herrera, Lopez, Martinez, Ortega, Reyes, and Santa Cruz. Some of Italian origin include Angeletti, Bruno, Cuneo, Gallo, Liuzza, Martello, Nocentelli, Roppolo, Sentino, and Taranto.
It should be noted that like the French and Spanish surnames, those of Italian origin seemed to be common among black people in the downtown Creole 6th and 7th wards of the city.

Italian names? Hmm that very interesting.
I met one black person with an Italian last name...Navaroli
[Very stereotypically 'black name'] Navaroli from Hartford CT. She was pretty dark skin but apparently had an Italian grandfather. Made sense because CT is Hella Jamaican and Italian and she claimed those as her ancestry . You just couldn't see any white features at all.

White New Orleanians were so hostile toward Italians back in the day that they got along well with black New Orleanians, and due to a shortage of Italian females, Italian males had intimate relationships with black females which had been somewhat customary in New Orleans before they arrived.

Which cities in the US have the most diverse black populations?I am from the DMV area and we have a very diverse black population. We have a large and affluent African-American population, the largest African immigrant population by proportion in the states and also a large Afro-Carribean community. I would say other cities that come close with a good balance of all three are NYC, Boston and Atlanta. Although Houston and Miami also have diverse black populations, you don't see a large carribean presence in Houston or a large African presence in Miami.
So which cities in America have the largest and most diverse/international black populations?
Philadelphia most the big cities in the East Coast and
South East
