This map shows the dot density of the African American Population across the United States in 1960. It is interesting to note that most of the population is along and East of the Mississippi River and along what is now known as the I-95 corridor or over most of the SE US. We see that in the Midwest and West, except for a few cities such as Denver and San Francisco, there were not a large amount of African Americans living there.
