By 1570, Africans in Mexico outnumbered Spaniards by 3 to 1. 68 years later in 1810, the number of Afro-Mexicans shrunk to around 10% of Mexico’s population.

Every year since 1996, dozens of towns along the 200-mile long coastal region known as Costa Chica (one of two regions in Mexico with significant black population, the other being the state of Veracruz) have come together to celebrate “Encounter of Black Mexico,” featuring regional dance, music and round-table discussions about black life.
