word. its not just up to us to tell non-Black people they are wrong. our community needs support from all its members in calling out and challenging oppressive anti-Black racism. i’m looking at YOU light-skinned and racially white Latin@s…..

LOL, I’ma go ahead and bet most, if not all, of the people who said something like you shouldn’t have written that post were not black either, so they can have all the seats in the stadium.
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!
