More blacks were transported as slaves to Mexico and Peru than to the United States. Afro-Peruvians have staged a cultural revival, but Afro-Mexicans are much more reticent about their origins. Haitians are proudly black, but brown-skinned Dominicans prefer the term "Indio." These are just a few of the findings in Black in Latin America, the new four-part PBS documentary series by The Root's editor-in-chief, Henry Louis Gates Jr. We have video clips to give you the sabor — the flavor of the series.
