“La Noche de los Cristales Rotos” Cacería migratoria en República Dominicana a plena madrugada. Lo que se está ejecutando es una brutal limpieza étnica contra personas negras y migrantes. No podemos guardar silencio. #RDMigración

When Donald Trump says that Cuban people love him, he’s talking about Cubans in Miami. On the island, it’s a different story.
We asked Cubans in Cuba about what they think about Trump.

‘Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer’ se lanzó un día como hoy 8 de junio de 1999. Un verdadero tesoro sonoro que captura la esencia más pura y emotiva de la música cubana tradicional en la elegante y cálida voz de Ibrahim Ferrer. Hasta la aparición del proyecto Buena Vista Social Club, el talento de Ibrahim Ferrer no había alcanzado una amplia proyección internacional. Lo llamativo es que tenía alrededor de 72 años cuando se publicó este álbum. Es decir, después de más de medio siglo de carrera profesional, este fue su primer álbum grabado como solista.

✊🏾 Empezamos el día reivindicando a Sueli Carneiro (n. 1950), filósofa, escritora y una de las intelectuales del feminismo negro más brillantes de Brasil. Fundadora del Instituto de la Mujer Negra (Geledés), acuñó y profundizó en el concepto de "epistemicidio" para denunciar cómo el sistema colonial destruye y oculta activamente los saberes de las comunidades negras.
Una teórica fundamental que nos enseña que el feminismo o ennegrece sus prioridades materiales y políticas, o no será emancipatorio. ¡Pensamiento vivo! 🗣️🔥 #Afroféminas #SueliCarneiro #FeminismoNegro #Antirracismo

A teacher once told Arturo Alfonso Schomburg that Black people had no history.
At 17, he sailed to New York with almost nothing and dedicated his life to proving that teacher wrong.
Today, the collection he built contains more than 11 million items, preserving the history, achievements, and contributions of people of African descent for future generations.
A powerful reminder that ignorance can spark a lifelong mission for truth.
