Victoria Santa Cruz was an Afro-Peruvian activist, writer, composer & choreographer. In the clip above, she talks about what inspired her to write her famous poem "Me gritaron Negra” which can be found on this page. she states that between the age of 5-7 a white family moved into her neighborhood & the youngest daughter said that she wouldn’t play with “la negrita” the black girl. Santa Cruz’s friends told her she had to leave. This is when she first recalls racism, many Afro-Latinos know they are black because they are reminded in their home countries & in the USA. We’ve been here. We’re here. We will continue to be here.|| • • • #VictoriaSantaCruz . #Peru . #AfroPeruana . #Negra . #MeGritaronNegra . #AfroLatina . #AfricanDescent . #BlackExcellence . #ImBlackEveryMonth . #AfroLatinidad . #Antiracismo . #Antiblackness . #Antinegritud . #NoRacism . #AfroLatinos #AfricanDescent . #BlackIsBeautiful . #Roots #Raices (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrtIljkBBna/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ziys71wqiqvt
