1. zuky: caribbeanlife: Haiti: The Citadel Laferrie. One of first monuments constructed by Black slaves who gained their freedom. Awesome. Sun Tzu would advise: Do not lay siege upon this Citadel. I read that it contains cisterns and storehouses large enough to support 5,000 people within the walls for an entire year, as well as specific tactical plans to destroy an attacking army marching from the coast.

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, Afr@Latin@s, BlakTin@s, and Afr@-Caribeñ@s.

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, Women's Herstory (March), LGBTQA history, or Latin@ history (September 15-October 15) (to name a few). Join us in honoring and recognizing LatiNegr@s this year during Black, Women, LGBTQA, and Latin@ History Month and year round! We are Black, Latin@ and from all over the world! 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".

TRIGGER WARNING: This space discusses the lived realities and histories of people who identify as racially Black and ethnically Latin@ all over the world. Posts may reference violence in many forms and topics and discussion may range from ableism to xenophobia to everything in between.
