For this task I have taken the obvious choice of the black population of the US. The site that I have found to use is http://blackusa.com/
The website feels quite unprofessional for a site that is giving the facts about the history of a race of people as it has a ‘Game Arcade’ featured on there and the overall presentation of the site is a little messy with loud colours. However, it does give a vast view of African-American history and holds information on struggles the black population have had as well as laws passed to do with them and key figures that have influenced their history. The website acts as a celebration of their culture and offers a ‘Recipes’ page in which you can find recipes for many different dishes, although it is a little mixed up and has not only traditional African and Caribbean dishes but also an assortment of other dishes from across the world.
On the homepage for the site it rotates on a weekly basis different parts of the history to encourage people to find out about things that they might not otherwise know. It also hosts articles of current news to do with the black community of the US.
