Centering Blackness within Latinidad A Black Liberative Vision for AfroLatinidad The afrolatin forum centers Blackness within Latinidad and focuses on Latins of African descent in the United States to provide a bridge that expands our understanding of the African Diaspora. We support the struggle for racial and social justice through dialogue and action by engaging communities forging coalitions creating accessible educational materials and organizing public events. We have an antiracist antipatriarchal and anticapitalist lens and seek to affirm all aspects of AfroLatinidad. Our work is guided by a communal perspective that recognizes the centrality of race in todays global reality.
