There are 54 million Hispanics in the United States, of whom 24 percent identify as Afro-Latino. Afro-Latino is a person with Latin heritage who is also of African descent. Afro-Latinos have different hair textures, accents, and skin complexions and many people are misinformed about what an Afro-Latino looks like, how they should act, and where they come from.
These activities help Spanish students explore and understand the diversity that exists among Afro-Latinos.
