Although the history of this ethnic group has been widely reported, is still very common to find people who do not know and have never heard about Afro-Colombians.
Most people who don't know about this ethnic group are the ones who have contributed to maintaining stereotypes and negative images of Afro-Colombians. The truth is that thanks to the work and efforts of many Afro-Colombians, the country has established its economy
The extracting of alluvial gold deposites and the growing of sugar cane are some examples of the contributions of this race to our culture. Because of Afro-Colombians, our country has developed a wide range of products and a diverse culture.
It is for this reason that I consider important to note that Colombia is now a rich country thanks to the contribution of its people and Afro-Colombians have provided valuable resources to the country. The stereotypes that exist about them are not based on real facts, but on the image and perception of a few who do not know about our history.
Hello Diana!! You have reason on your writing, Afro-Colombians have contributed much to the country, many of their contributions have been recognized by organizations such as UNESCO. However, the little knowledge of some people, generate a wrong image of these important people for our country.
