African-American New Yorkers are residents of the U.S. state of New York who are of African American ancestry. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, African-Americans were 17.6% of the state's population.[4] New York has the third largest African American population of any state by number in the United States, after Texas and Georgia.[5] Black people were brought to the state during the slave trade when New York was a Dutch colony.[6][7][8][9] New York abolished slavery in 1827.[10] Many black Southerners from Southern states such as Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas moved to the state during the Great Migration. A second Black migration wave from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica began around the same time.[11]
