A Lunch Time Talk with Visiting Afro-Venezuela Students

IPS Conference Room 1301 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 6th Floor, Washington, DC, United States

Venezuela has designated the month of May, the same month as the historic African Liberation Day, as Afro-Venezuelan Month. Afro-Venezuelan communities have been historically marginalized and forgotten in Venezuela.

The Institute for Policy Studies’ Foreign Policy in Focus project and Cimarrones-Howard University invites you to a brown bag discussion with Roraima Yurimar Gutierrez Moreno and John Daniel Morocoima Gudino. Both will be speaking about Afro-Venezuelan culture, education and social movements in Venezuela, particularly among the country's youth.
