Reconnecting Blacks: the Global Diaspora

Western colonialism worked to separate Blacks in the Western Hemisphere from those in the Eastern Hemisphere. Melanated people, whether from Africa proper or around the globe maintain the same melanin as the early Africans, who migrated to the regions. Just as Europeans in Britain and New Zealand are both considered white, so are melanated people, around the globe, Black African descendants. More recent research has shown that Polynesians traversed the Pacific Nazca Ridge to the Americas.
