Perhaps the most polished site around dedicated to black life, it is definitely worth a visit. You should also make sure to stop by The African-American Mosaic . This large collection of resources, maintained at the Library of Congress, offers a wealth of material for the study of African-American history and culture. But my tastes tend to favor the more obscure and less entrepreneurial projects out there. Though harder to find, these gems provide valuable insight into African and African American art and culture, both historical and contemporary.
World is a multifaceted tool for African American children, parents and educators.
This resource from the University of Pennsylvania is the most useful I have found on the topic, since it is well annotated and specifically designed for educators and students. It covers just about everything, including languages, libraries, country-specific data, environmental info and multimedia resources. The focus of this exhibit is the ethical and religious foundation of African Art. Though there are only 14 images, the site is useful for those wishing to make comparisons of different masks and headdresses from different regions in Africa. It is also an easy site to view because all of the images and descriptions are located on one page.
