- The Passage to the Interior: Approximately one million African Americans were deported from the Atlantic seaboard to the southern interior of the United States in the first half of the 19th century.
- The Passage to the North: Six million African Americans fled the rural South to the urban North during the middle decades of the 20th century.
- Global Passages: People of African descent arrived in the United States from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and Europe at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st.
