The African Presence in Mexico September 26, 2010

'The African Presence in Mexico,' the most comprehensive project ever organized about African contributions to Mexican culture featuring three exhibitions: 'The African Presence in Mexico: From Yanga to the Present, 'Roots, Resistance and Recognition,' and 'Common Goals, Common Struggles, and Common Ground.' The project examines the missing chapter in Mexican history that highlights the African contributions to Mexican culture over the past nearly 500 years. These groundbreaking exhibitions also attempt to stimulate a better understanding of Mexican culture among Mexicans and non-Mexicans alike.
