ABOUT SOULOFAMERICA

 

    SoulOfAmerica.com is the pioneer publisher of online Black cultural travel information in U.S. Cities, the Caribbean and select International destinations. In fact, our site is older than TripAdvisor and Citysearch. We draw inspiration from our African American ancestors who invented Soul Music, Soul Food and so many other soulful treasures for all to celebrate.

   
SoulOfAmerica.com welcomes ALL visitors who wish to broaden their travel options by exploring editorial and photographic Black Cultural treasures with all the love, appreciation and in some cases, reverance they deserve.

 

    On a deeper level, SoulOfAmerica.com cares about images and words that portray Black Culture around the country.  For indeed, we believe there is a war going on in Black communities for the "Soul Of America." See this chilling, but insighful video. It summarizes our thoughts and why we do not accept alcohol ads or portray self-destructive imagery representing the worst in Black Culture.

 

    In total, our motivation and vision are to represent a positive view of Black Cultural Travel that explores and embraces the best of our heritage and shares it with the world. We are currently seeking venture investment to expand our vision and can be reached via our Contact Us page.
