Credit to @somethingblackmade The more you know. #blackhistoryfact “It was only in recent years that self-identified Afro-Mexicans have fought for recognition, achieving it in 2015 with the preliminary census which listed ‘negro’ (black) as one of the ethnicity options. Afro-Mexicans will have to wait until 2020 before this category is included on a ‘full’ census though. Notably, this move of official recognition on the part of the government leaves Chile as the only Latin American country to not formally recognize its black population.” -the culturetrip #SBM #somethingblackmade #afromexican #mexico

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks is returning for 2023!

For those of you who don’t know, 52 Ancestors is a way of chronicling our ancestors by writing about them in a prompt every week. Individuals do this through a blog, their website, whatever works for them and isn’t too much effort - we’re going for telling stories, not getting bogged down in how they’re told.

This year had some incredibly poignant tales, some that truly touched me, some that made me laugh, and some that even inspired me to work more on my own family history. I felt a kinship to all of you, and your ancestors as well.

52 Ancestors is about many different things. One is accountability to keep telling the stories of our ancestors, but do it in a way that keeps us invigorated and not burned out.

To sign up, please click here: https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks/

We're getting started in just a few days!
