Vicente Guerrero was one of the most important and influential figures in Mexico, defending his country and fighting with valor. In honor of Guerrero and his many great accomplishments, Mexico has named many Schools, Hospitals streets after him.
African TraditionsÂ
Staying connected to their African roots to not only pass down their traditions but to bring more awareness.Â
From their first census in 1895 up until 2015 Afro-Mexicans never had the option to identify themselves as “Afro-Mexicans” or “Black.” As of the 2015 census Mexicans now have the option to identify themselves and claim their African descent. That’s 1.38 million citizens that now can claim their African descent. There is a great push happening for the census in 2020 to include “Black.” Even with such change Afro-Mexicans still go “invisible.”

One of the important factors that made Guerrero a hero was that Guerrero had a good relationship with people of lower economic class and the most oppressed which helped Guerrero recruit many Mexicans into the war. He brought hope to the people. He gave them confidence in themselves to fight for what they deserved. To fight for what was theirs. This allowed Guerrero to build a strong army and have the support of the people.
Soon after many battles, victories, and some losses, Mexico won its independence from Spain. With victories, Vicente Guerrero brought to Mexico he stayed true the whole way, and not once did he take it upon himself to say it was all because of him. Instead, he said, “It wasn’t me, but the people who fought and triumphed”(Cope). Upon their independence, Mexico was governed by a committee before the election of their first president. One of the three members on this committee was none other than Vicente Guerrero. While serving on this committee Guerrero called for public education and programs to help and protect people of lower socioeconomic status. Yet another proof that Guerrero was for the people. Â
A stamp of Vicente Guerrero
A country that had an Afro-Mexican president that not only lead them to their independence, but also helped Mexico obtain some of its greatest achievements as a country, fails to recognize and have proper representation of Afro-Mexicans.
Director Jorge PĂ©rez Solano used non-professional actors from the Costa Chica area of Mexico.

Vicente wrote a book of his own. He talks about his upbringing with a poor Black- Indian family who didn’t have the great schooling offered to him. That being so, he taught himself how to read and write meanwhile he trained with his troops. “Today, the National Museum of History in Chapultepec Park honors only one family with its genealogical tree depicted on a wall, the family begun by Vicente Guerrero and his wife Guadalupe Hernandez” (Valenzuela). In addition, in 1870 a statue of Vicente was installed in Mexico City’s plaza De San Fernando. Which was sculpted out by Miguel Norena.Â

Afro-Mexicans are a forgotten community. Their history and culture are not represented in larger Mexican history and their presence is not acknowledged by the Mexican constitution. They face discrimination from inside and outside their communities.
The Legacy of Vicente Guerrero, Mexico's First Black Indian President [Theodore G. Vincent] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. "A book that must be read by all Americans who desire a more critical understanding of the historical contributions that Africans made beyond the borders of the United States. It dramatically captures a history that has long been neglected by historians of the Mexican Revolution of 1810. . . . An important contribution that links the common histories of African and Latino Americans."--Carlos Muñoz
Book on the life and legacy of Vicente Guerrero
“Pathways to Freedom in the Americas: Shared Experiences Between Michigan, USA and Guerrero, México,” the exhibit is in English and Spanish and uses video, maps, photographs, art, and music to depict a different aspect of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. It tells the story of African-American slaves escaping south to freedom in México; African heritage as it continues to permeate Mexican culture—especially in the Costa Chica region of Guerrero; the migration of Mexicans to Michigan, and the culture as it has manifested in Southwest Detroit.
