Racism/Xenophobia - In the United States: Historic Timeline
Tsekani Browne

This timeline includes information in a variety of areas related to the diverse experiences of racism/xenophobia, for peoples of African descent, in the context of the United States. As such it contains a large amount of information, much of which will overlap with other timeline subjects. In the attempt to create a continuum of racism/xenophobia as it relates to black folks, this timeline demonstrates both variety and continuity over time. One will notice that many of the earlier entries have to do with black legal status and interactions with the court, as this type of evidence seems the most readily available. As the entries become more recent they tend to diversify and the relative frequency of occurrences seems to increase. This may be due largely to problems of historical reclamation. Keep in mind that this timeline, although fairly comprehensive is by no means exhaustive.
