African Diaspora - We Are Everywhere by Dellis Frank Image: When you hear just the word diaspora, which simply means to disperse, what really comes to mind? In the Black community it speaks of the dispersal of human beings, not by choice but by violent force. It also speaks of the dispersal of human beings through exploration and courage, something we are not taught about in school. We must do our own research and teach others the truth. The African diaspora speaks to something the whitewashers are hard pressed to admit. We are magnificent. We are educators, healers, explorers, creatives, scientists, mathematicians, inventors, and entrepreneurs.
