+==History==
+African Americans began settling in Alaska around the time of the Civil War.  Before this, some African Americans migrated to Alaska and worked as seamen or miners.<ref>Curtis, Nancy C. Black Heritage Sites: The South. The New Press, 1996. See page 31.</ref>   After the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, the US Army assigned a small number of African Americans to keep the peace. More settlers came after the discovery of gold in the 1890s.<ref>Black Heritage Sites: The South. Page 31.</ref>  However, a greater influx of African Americans to Alaska occurred during World War II, when African American engineers and troops were assigned to construct the Alaska Highway.<ref>"African American / Blacks," "Alaska's Cultures," ''Alaska History & Cultural Studies'', accessed 11 May 2018. </ref> To learn more about the history of Alaska, and the role that African Americans played, visit:
