African Americans in North Carolina
African-American North Carolinians or Black North Carolinians are residents of the state of North Carolina who are of African ancestry. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, African Americans were 22% of the state's population. African enslaved people were brought to North Carolina during the slave trade.

History 

Slavery has been part of North Carolina's history since its colonization by white Europeans in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Many of the first black enslaved people in North Carolina were brought to the colony from the West Indies, but a significant number were brought from Africa. Records were not kept of the tribes and homelands of African enslaved people in North Carolina.

African Americans in North Carolina suffered from racial segregation. Most white people in North Carolina sought to refine the Jim Crow system and retain systematic segregation.
