The term African people refers to people who live in Africa, or people who trace their ancestry to indigenous inhabitants of Africa. This includes members of the "African diaspora" resulting from the Atlantic Slave Trade such as Black British, Afro-Latin Americans, African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Black Canadians. The term Black people is often used as a synonym for people of African ancestry (in particular Sub-Saharan Africa), particularly in the Americas and Europe, although the two terms are not always considered synonymous.

The continent's inhabitants live amidst deserts and jungles, as well as in modern cities across the continent.

A. The Emergence of the Harlem Renaissance During the 1920s and into the 1930s, African American literature flourished during the Harlem Renaissance. Known mostly for the emergence of great literature by black authors, the Harlem Renaissance, also known as the New Negro Movement, was a result of several factors. Before the Renaissance, thousands of blacks migrated from the South to the Northern industrial cities as more employment opportunities became available during World War I. In addition, the black middle class was increasing and more educational opportunities were available to blacks. More .. a guide to Harlem Renaissance Materials

Q. I have an african violet plant. I have had it for about 3 years now. I have been able to keep it alive but after the first few weeks all the flowers fell off and have never grown back. What exactly am I doing wrong? The plant looks great but where are the flowers?

A. Give them fertilizer every time you water.Most fertilizers have the directions for constant feed on the side of the box or bottle. Bright light but no direct unless its early morning or late afternoon. Water them when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Over watering causes the leaves and flower buds to turn mushy and brown and fall off.
