Proud Afro Latina Unisex T-Shirt

Blackness and Latinidad are not mutually exclusive. African roots in Latin America can be traced to the 1500s when the majority of enslaved Africans brought to the Americas landed in the Caribbean. Intermingling between Africans, indigenous people and the European Spaniards over generations occurred as a result of the slave trade. The term "Afro Latino/a" traces to the 1970s, when Black activists in Brazil sparked a social political movement to fight for recognition in the country's census because Brazil -- at the time -- did not recognize its Black citizens in the census.

In the last decade, the number of people across the US who identify as Black and Hispanic has increased 11.6%, according to a CNN analysis of census data. In the 2020 census, more than 1.3 million people identified as Black and Hispanic, compared to 1.2 million in 2010.
