Black in Latin America With Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

BetWeen 1502 And 1866, more than 11
million Africans were brought to the New
World, but only 450,000 arrived in the
United States. The rest were taken to the
Caribbean and Latin America. Renowned
Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
reveals this untold story and its lasting
cultural impact in Black in Latin America,
a new four-part series premiering this
month on THIRTEEN.
With the broadcast of African Ameri-
can Lives in 2006, Professor Gates made
history as the first filmmaker to employ
genealogy and genetic science to provide
an understanding of African American
history. In Black in Latin America, he
visits Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Repub-
lic, Haiti, Mexico, and Peru to discover
how Latin Americans of African descent
live, how their countries acknowledge—
or deny—their African past, and how race
and African ancestry influence the mul-
ticultural worlds of the Caribbean and
Latin America.
“Few of us realize how ‘black’ the
cultures of South America actually are.
Since the sixteenth century, the black
presence has been inextricably inter-
twined in the cultures and economies
of the six countries we examine in the
series,” said Professor Gates. “This se-
ries—the third in a trilogy—is a journey
of discovery, in which we unveil these
often hidden worlds that black people
created in countries we don’t think of as
black. How many of us realize that black
saints are worshipped in these countries,
and that the first black president of any
country in the New World was not Barack
Obama, it was Vicente Guerrero who was
elected president of Mexico in 1829.”
“We're particularly excited about this
series because it breaks so much new
ground,” said Stephen Segaller, Vice
President of Content at WNET. “It serves
the audience in two ways—bringing them
material they won’t find anywhere else
and presenting important stories about
diverse communities in the Americas that
will resonate with our own immensely
diverse New York area audience.”
Funding for Black in Latin America is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Public Television
Stations and Viewers Like You. Additional funding is provided by the Ford Foundation, Richard Gilder and
Alphonse Fletcher.
