Abstract

A content analysis was undertaken to research the paper. The methodology included are view of secondary sources in library holdings and interviews with organizations and individuals on the subject under investigation. These sources provided a foundation for content analysis and interpretation. Africa’s population is largely dispersed because slavery forcibly moved millions and into new homelands where culture was alien and opportunities were non-existent. Eventually, many other Africans have since (willfully)migrated, despite predictable challenges. Notwithstanding, the African diaspora has endured strife, cruelty and humiliating injustice, and has harnessed social media to communicate with African on the continent. Consequently, platforms that include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, Instagram and Messenger are among the widely used social media to interact with African populations. To improve and sustain communication, along with information flow, the African diaspora has engaged in conducting workshops in select countries to maximize Internet utilization and social media software development. Other informational initiatives are online cash remittances for emergencies, national development, as well as participation in the democratic process.Keywords: Africa, slave trade, homeland, social media, diaspora, culture
