Afro-Latino: A Deeply Rooted Identity Among U.S. Hispanics

The first to ask US Latinos directly whether they identify as Afro-Latino, Afro-Caribbean, or of African descent. About a quarter said yes, with the strongest concentrations among families with Caribbean roots, and the report sketches the hemispheric history that makes the identity centuries deep. Read alongside the later study, it teaches a lesson our community lives daily: change the wording of a question and the count changes with it. Good background for anyone building a fuller picture of Afro-Latinidad.
