Nicaraguan postage stamp honoring the late Puerto Rican baseball player Roberto Clemente, who died in an airplane accident while delivering emergency supplies to the country after an earthquake in 1972.

Clemente was significantly darker than in this image and proud of it!

      Yea, this is kind of odd. On one hand, it’s cool that they are honoring Clemente in this way. But seriously, Clemente...

About

This award-winning project started as the formal US focus on Black History Month (February 1-28/9) was upon us. Please know that our goal to celebrate all of the peoples who have influence and history via the African Diasporas. Expanding the inclusively of Blackness is not just during Black History Month but all year round for several of us, self-identified LatiNeg@s, Afro-Latin@s and Afro-Caribeños.

This site is 365 days a year 24 hours a day 7 days a week! As people who recognize and claim the African heritage and history, we have often been excluded from US History, whether it be Black history, Womyn's Herstory (March) or Latino history (September 15-October 15) (to name a few). Join us in honoring and recognizing LatiNegr@s this year during Black, Womyn, and Latino History Month and year round! We are Black, Latino and from the Caribbean. We REPRESENT!

Please share any images, videos, quotes, websites, links etc. you'd like to include on this page. Go to http://lati-negros.tumblr.com/submit to submit what you'd like to contribute.

The painting is by Jorge Arche, a Cuban painter from Santiago de Cuba who painted "Banistas" in 1972.
