Afro-Mexican speaker Jorge Gonzalez speaks on the presence and history of people of African descent in Mexico. For the past 500 years, Afro-Mexicans have been omitted from Mexico's history, governmental rights, and society. The country's 1.38 million black population will be recognized for the first time in Mexico's national census of 2020. Mexico was previously one of the only two Latin American countries (with Chile) to not officially count their African-descended citizens.
