Afro-Cuban Movement at Harvard

From the creator

A group of over thirty activists from the Afro-Cuban movement visited Harvard on April 14-15, 2017 to attend a gathering sponsored by the Afro-Latin American Research Institute (ALARI), Hutchins Center for African and African American Research. Titled, “The Afro-Cuban Movement: Activism and Research, Accomplishments and Challenges,” this event represents the first time that Cuban antiracist activists—writers, cultural producers, hip hop musicians, filmmakers, popular educators, neighborhood leaders, bloggers, LGTBQ activists, and lawyers—come together to assess the state of the antiracist agenda in that country and to identify new challenges. The event also hosted a group of Afro-Cuban entrepreneurs who have managed to create successful private businesses in what is otherwise an overwhelmingly white sector. The event is part of an ongoing conversation between academics and activists from the Afrodescendant movement in Latin America sponsored by the Afro-Latin American Research Institute.
