As part of our efforts to document the live history and experiences of Afrolatin@s in the context of the United States we are embarking on the "AfroLatin@ Vistas" oral history documentation project. This project is about providing a space for the community to come together and share their untold stories, while documenting and preserving these voices of people of African descent. Interviews with Afrolatin@s and their families will be conducted as they share their family histories of identity, migration, education and relations. In doing so, we hope that these stories can be shared with other members of the community. We hope that this project will transform these experiences into an action that will help to challenge the rigid notions of race that exist in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean while striving for social justice and the recognition of these communities.

The visual documentation will be used in various contexts to collect, publish, and archive "first voice" narratives about people of African descent.
