AFRO COLOMBIA 3: The African Diaspora in Colombia PART 3

Here is Part 3 of our three-part series on Afro Colombia. In this video we look at how the Black community has been disproportionately affected by the conflict in Colombia. Did you know that almost 27% of Colombians are Black and Afrodescendant. That's over a quarter of the country!

Thank you for the information provided through the video. What books will suggest written by Afro Colombians in English that have the true stories, history, socio-political, struggles and successes of the country?

Hey will you ever tour throughout the African diaspora, that would be so cool.

Do you have a video on Afro Paraguayans?

You missed out the UNESCO cultural space of the Southern Pacific and Marimba culture especially in Timbiquí. You also missed the esgrima fencing martial arts of afro-colombians from Cauca.

I wonder why the comment section is turned off for the DR video.

Someone needs to send a link to Phillip Scott because he has a pro Black channel.

Why a lot of Afro colombiens are surnamed Zapata ? Even Equatoriens as well ?
