Argentina's Hidden History | Where Did All the Black People Go?

Argentina is often described as one of the most European countries in Latin America.

But this image hides a forgotten part of its past.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, Buenos Aires had a significant Afro-descendant population. In some neighborhoods, Black and mixed-race people represented close to one third of the population.

So why is that history almost invisible today?

A story about race, memory, and how countries choose to remember their past.
