I commend MediaNoche for bringing us a glimpse of this exhibition. It's so educational for us to see verification that Latinos and African American share the same ancestry and unfortunately the same mistreatment.

A Chilling Registry and a Shared History
This registry is chilling but unfortunately not surprising. It documents the inhumanity of human beings in a most blatant form. The men and women are treated as commodities with their value (or lack of) to the slave owners based solely on their physical qualities.

You're right. There is a shared history between Puerto Ricans and African Americans. We share three heritages: The European, the African and the Indian. There have been plus and minuses on all sides. but I do not think, I would trade places with anyone in any place and any time. I hope you feel the same way.
People should read this.
African American slaves and Puerto Rican slaves have one thing in comon, they both came from Africa. So why do they seperste them? Is because they where forsed too speak Spanish in stead off English. They have the same acetory.
