African Americans in Omaha, Nebraska, are central to the development and growth of the 43rd largest city in the United States. While population statistics show almost constantly increasing percentages of Black people living in the city since it was founded in 1854,[1] Black people in Omaha have not been represented equitably in the city's political, social, cultural, economic or educational circumstances since.[2] In the 2020s, the city's African American population is transforming the city's landscape through community investment, leadership and other initiatives.
