February is Black History Month and many Wisconsinites may not be aware of the deep history African Americans have in building Wisconsin. The hard work of slaves did not earn them the same benefits of their white counterparts and Black men were forbidden to exercise their voice through voting.
According to University of Wisconsin Associate Professor of Afro-American Studies Christy Clark-Pujara, Black history and Black people in Wisconsin predates what became the state in the 1720s. Black people in Wisconsin were brought in by French fur traders some were free, others were enslaved.
“You have small pockets of Black people so it’s not a torrent of people. We’re talking about dozens of people, hundreds of people and then thousands of people in the period that I study,” Clark-Pujara said. “It’s an experience that is both oppressive and progressive.”

MILWAUKEE Like in the rest of the U.S., the 20th century in Wisconsin was a time of major change and major growing pains.
More Black residents than ever before would move into the Badger State during this era. But when they arrived, they’d find a place that still systematically denied them equal rights and opportunities.
Over the course of the century, Black Wisconsinites would have to fight tooth and nail to earn the same rights that their neighbors were given freely. Here, we take a look at the persistent issues of segregation and prejudice that faced Black residents at this time and the Civil Rights Movement that helped bring about hard-earned progress.
