Black In Latin America Documentary Screening

Join us for a special four-part weekly screening of "Black in Latin America" with Henry Louis Gates Jr., as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by exploring the rich and complex history of Afro-Latinx communities. This groundbreaking documentary series takes us on a journey through six Latin American countries, revealing the profound impact of African descendants on the region's culture, identity, and history.

Each week, we'll screen an episode that delves into the unique experiences and contributions of Afro-Latinx people, followed by an open discussion to reflect on the themes presented and their relevance today. This is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the diverse narratives that shape Latin America and honor the heritage of Afro-Latinx communities.
