Museum exhibits explore heritage of Afro-Mexicans – California African American Museum in Los Angeles.
Tagged: California, Los Angeles, Mexico
ut unlike the United States, Mexico — even today — does little to recognize its Afro-Mexican roots, even though some of its major figures have descended from African ancestors.
This complex history is only recently being celebrated by such studies as “The African Presence in Mexico: From Yanga to the Present,” the largest of three exhibits on display at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles.
The show and its companion, “Who Are We Now? Roots, Resistance and Recognition,” were created by the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago and will remain in Los Angeles for five months.”*
