African Americans in Louisiana

African Americans in Louisiana or Black Louisianians are residents of the US state of Louisiana who are of African ancestry; those native to the state since colonial times descend from the many African slaves working on indigo and sugarcane plantations under French colonial rule. Within the US, Louisiana has the fifth-largest overall African American population. Louisiana has the second-largest percentage of African Americans in the country, only behind Mississippi. As of the 2020 US census, Black Louisianians of African heritage were 32.8% of the state's population.
