Las Vegas has a unique story when it comes to the history of black people and historical events in the city. From the time of segregation to the present day, the black people in Las Vegas have continued to build a tight knit, vibrant, resilient community.
The history of the community consists of the stories of the world famous historic black owned businesses like the Moulin Rouge, to the new enterprises being opened on the Historic westside of town.
African Americans, and even more recently Africans relocating to America are making significant changes in the city that will contribute to an even more robust history of the future.
