Afro-Latinos must join Black Lives Matter
Afro-Latinos are among those most affected by systemic racism. They have been underrepresented in history books, corporate board rooms, and media for years. According to the 2017 U.S. census, there were more than 3 million Afro-Latinos living in the United States.
Over the years the community has increased its visibility by sparking conversation about what it means to be Afro-Latino. A Pew Research Center study has shown that Afro-Latinos make up a quarter of the Hispanic population, yet not all are convinced that BLM concerns them.

Ever since the murder of George Floyd and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, the term “defunding the police” has become a prominent topic. During the last week of May to June of 2020, the term was searched many times in the state of Florida.
