United States of Black America
The National Framework For Foundational Black Americans
Our lineage belongs to a distinct American people rooted in U.S. chattel slavery and shaped by structural harm, resistance, cultural brilliance, and global impact, forming the basis for lawful recognition, protection, and repair.
United States of Black America (USBA) is a lineage-based national framework for Foundational Black Americans, built around identity clarity, structural analysis, and restoration.
Identity clarity protects against misclassification, preserves continuity, and keeps research, policy, rights, resources, and restoration aligned with the population they are intended to address.
Explore the Identity page to learn how FBA lineage is defined, protected, and connected to the broader USBA framework.
USBA 2025 is the public-facing digital platform of the USBA framework and ecosystem, bringing together its standards, tools, resources, and restoration work in one place.
The Orientation Guides introduce the language, principles, and structure that help users understand how USBA is organized and how to navigate the ecosystem with greater clarity.
Use the guides to build a foundation before exploring the more detailed materials available throughout the site.
The USBA ecosystem includes a shared set of documents, rights, symbols, observances, and cultural practices that establish a common foundation for identity, continuity, and restoration.
This includes:
Together, these National Assets provide shared reference points across the USBA ecosystem.
Restoration requires clarity about who experienced the harm, what occurred, and who carries that lineage forward.
Lineage clarity provides the foundation for precise classification, documentation, policy analysis, and restoration.
The FBA Lineage Rights Act builds on that foundation by presenting a framework for lineage recognition, protection, and repair.
Being On Code is the USBA standard for maintaining alignment.
It means applying identity and lineage standards consistently while protecting against misclassification, distortion, and drift.
The Alignment Tools provide practical guidance for putting those standards into practice.
USBA grows through clarity, alignment, and the accurate use of its framework.
Your engagement helps correct misinformation, protect FBA lineage, strengthen national coherence, and extend the reach of restoration.
