"Black In Latin America" Premiere

From Americas Quarterly: "Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. will debut a four-part series tonight on PBS — Black in Latin America — regarding the influence of African descent on Latin America. According to the official show page, Latin America and the Caribbean have the largest concentration of people with African ancestry outside of the African continent — having imported more than ten times as many slaves than the United States. Dr. Gates will assess how Afro-Latinos have impacted the region’s history and culture over time."
