Below is a List of some well-known Caribbean & Caribbean-Americans nationals
America is being hosts to millions of Caribbean nationals, many of whom have served in politics, government, human services, security, civic and industrial capacities, and in all four branches of the Armed Force, including Reserves Units.

Caribbean nationals and Caribbean-Americans are people who can trace their ancestry to the Caribbean, linking over 28-English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and French-speaking cultural heritage. About 2,532,380 Americans- 0.83% of the total population-reported Caribbean ancestry in 2008.
The history of African-Caribbean immigration in the United States can be traced back to slavery when the British colonies in the Americas shifted enslaved Africans to different territories, as the demands of capital and plantation economy dictated.
It is long known that the Caribbean has one of the most interesting history; dating as far back as the 17th century when the first African slaves were brought from the Caribbean to America; landing in South Carolina where the first uprising between the British and the slaves began.
Caribbean and Caribbean-Americans has forged a kindred-ship in this country and have contributed greatly to the cultural and business landscape. Ever since there has been a merging of both cultures depicting unique arts, music, literature, politics and business - to which America and the World benefited.
The Committee for Caribbean Civic and Social Responsibilities (3CSR) are raising funds for the building of the Caribbean-American Museum and Cultural Center in Detroit, Michigan, the first in North America, and possibly, the World!
This vital effort is to retain and nurture this important link to tomorrow's future, and represents "A Lasting Legacy of Concerns, Commitment and Dedication to the Proliferation of the Caribbean-African Diaspora" by associated Caribbean nationals and other supporters - the World over.
For the World To See, Respect, and Adhere
An Expression of the Caribbean Cultural Heritage; bringing The Arts, Music & Literature "TO ALL!"
The Caribbean -American Museum will serve as an testament to the long-standing Caribbean-American relationship, and the benefits derived from both individual cultures; an emergence into a vibrant and unique kindred.
Calling all Peoples of Africa to Unite!
There has always been question surrounding the lineage of Caribbean and African-American nationals. There are forces that want us to believe that there is a cultural difference between these two entities.
Well, the HNB Foundation is leading the charge to dispel this aged-old divergent propaganda. First, Caribbean and its African counterpart are from the same place, Mother Africa! During the migration of slaves from Africa, many were taken to the Caribbean to be 'oriented' before moving on to America. Slaves dropped-off in Haiti and Jamaica were said to be the worst, most aggressive of the lots. In fact, this led African slaves in Saint Dominigue, as Haiti was then known, to the first successful revolt against slave masters, closely followed by Jamaican and then America.
“....The Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest and most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. It is certainly the only servile uprising that led to the creation of an independent nation, Haiti. Slaves initiated the rebellion in 1791 and by 1803 they had succeeded in ending not just slavery but French control over the colony. The Haitian Revolution, however, was much more complex, consisting of several revolutions going on simultaneously. These revolutions were influenced by the French Revolution of 1789, which would come to represent a new concept of human rights, universal citizenship, and participation in government....”
Our contention is that the people of the Caribbean are indeed related to the African-American nationals living – or dead- in the United States of America. So far the effort to wedge a cultural and hereditary difference between the two has been a success; a legacy the HNB Foundation wants to burn...
The building of the world's first Caribbean and Caribbean-American museum is the first step in re-establishing the kindred of 'a people separated by the systematic wand of misinformation' and downright lying!
Our motto, 'Discover The Caribbean In You!' is designed to get our African-counterparts; America's African-Americans to reach out to their African relatives from the Caribbean. Whether they be Dutch-Caribbean, Spanish-Caribbean, French-Caribbean, Indian-Caribbean or Asian-Caribbean, we are 'Out of Many, One People!'
We sincerely hope our brothers and sisters of the Great African-Diaspora will finally unite behind this cause and make their efforts known by their own statements of commitment to each other...
Reggae great, Peter Tosh sings, “...No matter where you come from, as long as you are black, you are an African...”

IMMIGRANTS FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND THE WEST INDIES, 2014
The United States' 2014 census shows that 4.1 million Caribbean nationals legally migrated to the US. (If there was a tally for those not ‘counted,’ for whatever reasons, the number would be much, much higher.) Immigrants from the Caribbean, including the West Indies, amount to almost 10 percent of all of the 43 million immigrants living this country, bringing with them wholesome skill-levels; contributing to the country’s economic, social, moral, cultural and political strength.
It is inconceivable that Caribbean and Caribbean-Americans not be able to validate and elucidate the contributions they have made; thus the building of a Caribbean-American Museum.
