Those interested in the topic of "Afro-Latin Americans" should also check out the Miami Herald series from a few years ago, "A Rising Voice: Afro-Latin Americans." There is also a lot of great multimedia included in the series. (Thanx to Frenchie Robles of the Herlad for reminding me of this great series).
