Are you kidding? Mexico would probably do everything possible to block such a movie... The Mexican government. long ago rewrote Mexican history leaving out the African slave population, and historical contributions... Slavery was totally abolished in Mex. by 1829... Abolishment began in 1821 but was not officially recognized until 1829 after Vicente Guerrero's army chased the spaniards out of Mexico, and into Texas, and Colorado where they regrouped, and eventually returned to Mexico with a bullshit meeting for peace with president Guerrero at which time the motherfuckers murdered him, and retook control... They retook control but did not reinstate slavery... They pretended to follow President Guerrero's plan of "Iguala" which was suppose to mean ALL MEXICANS WERE IQUAL UNDER THE LAW... The caste system was suppose to have been completely done away with... There would be no more caste system labels such as "Bozales" aka African born slaves, "Zambos" aka a person of mixed Indigenous/African blood, "Torno Atras" aka a throwback or someone who had parents that looked more spanish or Indigenous but was born a throwback or more African looking.... The white ruling government of the 1830's wanted all Mexicans to believe that EVERYONE born in Mexico was just "Mexican" without regard to skin color... This was one way they managed to leave out the African heritage of Mex.... No one called themselves "Afro Mexicano" or Indigena Mexicano, or euro Mexicano... Everyone just called themselves Mexicano or Mexican... As time went on, colonial history of slavery was blurred, which is exactly what the Mexican white gov. wanted..... Fast forward 2019, the African heritage of Mexico hides under 500 years of mixing blood, and LIES !

Yes, you must to be very proud since Gaspar Yanga was from Gabon, Africa and he was brought to Mexico as slave but he fought until he got the freedom to him and others 500 hundred followers and he found the first free community in America in 1630, Yanga is unfortunately a forgotten hero in Mexico
@@MrCaifanero Yanga is not a hero, the first genocide to appear on an official history Yanga ... Who mercilessly killed and dismembered children, priests and women, they massacred them "in the most cruel way," and there were even cases of cannibalism. from yanga ... !! THE MASSACRE IS NOT FORGOTTEN!”, murderer
I told this story to a person at work who is black and he was amazed. at first he thought I was making it up but he did some research and then he was amazed. VIVA MEXICO!!
Claiming to be a member of a royal family from Gabon (Central African country), Yanga became the leader of a band of slaves near Veracruz around 1570. While escaping into the mountains, he and his companions built a small free colony. For over 30 years it grew, surviving in part by capturing the caravans that brought goods back to Veracruz. However, in 1609 the decision was taken by the colonial government to put an end to this adventure.
He was not just claiming,he was from a royal family he was not used to the chains,in 1987 a member of a royal family from Gabon came to a town name Mata Clara Veracruz where most of the people descend from him(Nyanja)and honor his memory,Iam from the area ,my skin is brown but my heart is black proud to have his blood on my veins, ..small towns like: Mata Clara,Mata de Caña,La Primavera that is what is left from San Lorenzo de los Negros and La MATAMBA,,
As a Mexican American I love would to see Hollywood do a movie on yanga, what a story born in African royalty then becomes a slave goes to a foreign land escapes slavery frees others later they start the FIRST free slave town in the Americas and then the Spanish return to try to capture him and probably kill him ,they fight back against the Spanish and win basically their freedom.🥺🥺 😭😭😭 beautiful story.

@@salingstuff8085 I am more than glad and honored to have Aztec and black kings blood running through me that I will pass on to my future kids . As a person who lived in Mexico I can say that it’s different for most since we don’t really see race like that tbh if you are Mexican you are Mexican and if you are American you are American etc etc where as in the us for example there is a such thing as “African Americans” and if let’s say you were black in Mexico you would just be Mexican not a African Mexican. Of course there are the Afro Mexicans but they have that name because of their far back culture and not because of how they look necessarily. With all that being said . White skin toned Mexicans do have more opportunities then others but it’s definitely not a problem to where black skin tones Mexicans feel degraded by any means
Reading about him for my Afro Mexico class, in the first essay in this book Black Mexico: Race and Society from Colonial to Modern Times (edited by Matthew Restall) so I wanted to see what CZcams had about him and how it compares to the research this author did.
It's a delight to see my heroes illustrated with stories narrated with such professionalism. This is long overdue for us knowledge seekers. I admire the proactiveness. You guys are great! Remarkable work.

@@giorgiofontane2655 I never heard of anything like that, my family is from Yanga, and all I have always heard from everybody in town is that he was a great hero, that was also arrested by the inquisition, and was tortured by them, for helping people to scape from slavery, tell me from what sources you got that information, also some people, write and say lies, about heros to make them look bad, I'm not saying that you lie, but, I'm going to find out, about that, I find very hard to believe, And look that my family were from Spain and were known as the bosses of the coast of Veracruz, they had a lot of workers, african - mexican, that were almost like slaves, still I'm not in the side of owners of slaves, in this world everything should be fair.
@@giorgiofontane2655 from where you got that information, He was a prince in his country, You know? I heard that Saddam Hussein used to eat babies, he was definitely bad, I still don't know how truth that can be, about Yanga, is the first time that I hear something negative about him, I would believe if I can corroborate if that is truth . Doesn't particularly bother me, one way or another. anyways.
Yanga was from what is called today, Gabon, a country in central west Africa. He was the son of a traditional king (Punu King), which was a part of the great Kongo Empire 😊
David I composed a short worksheet of comprehension questions based off your video. I plan to show your video as a brief "bell ringer" assignment. Thank you for such a quality production that spotlights one of our many heroes of color.
Wow..I am honored! Thank you for the kind words. Can I ask what grade level? I would love to ask you a few questions off line for feedback on some quiz questions I am working on for this and the other video in the series. Please email me at herediadesignsllc@gmail.com
Cool! I'll email you. Just this morning I showed the video to a few of my colleagues during a class and they really liked it. I teach middle school, 6th, 7th and 8th grade.
Ok it's time to tell this storie. What better way than to make a movie out of it it. Its a great story they'd have to get a good director so it can be well expressed

@DavidHeredia wow man.....thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much. Please Keep them coming. Moreover, keep up the good work. We need this history out and up. Bless You
Thank you so much for putting this wonderful video together! There are still so few resources pertaining to Mexico’s African history but it was so much harder trying to seek out this type of information on my own way back when I started my learning process 15 years ago so I am grateful for your effort to share this information. Most people falsely believe that Mexicans are solely Mestizos (Spanish-Indigenous). We certainly are never formally taught that Mexico has Black/African history & it was only recently that Afro-Mexicans were acknowledged as a distinct racial/ethnic group which is crucial for allowing the community to advocate for itself & receive legal protections.
Aracely, thank you so much for your words of support and encouragement. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. It's so important to learn history and stop excluding folks. Our voices will not be silenced! Just grateful that I can use art to help educate. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I can take full credit for the artwork, but I cannot take credit for the voice over. That is the very talented actor/ voice narrator I hired named J. Aaron Boykin. Thank you for the kind words and continued support.
harvestcanada I am working on releasing a dvd/digital download series of 24 episodes. The first volume will have 6 episodes. I will absolutely keep you posted once it releases.
Prince Gaspar Yanga, a well-known Mexican in the state of Veracruz. The liberator of the Afros throughout the American continent (Name that the Spanish gave to the new world or the West Indies, in honor of the Italian Spanish Américo Vespucio).
Mexico is mostly mestizo/indigenous, in fact, most immigrants from Asia and Africa use Mexico just to get to the US and non-Indigenous minorities make up a small percentage compared to those in the US.
David Heredia will do :) I loved the Harlem hellfighters :) great job on that one too definitely nice to see someone pointing out heroes of color :) #longlivethemenofbronze
great videos I know you will get even more views once you continue the series, it's just that CZcams tends to inadvertently punish people who produce a few very high quality videos like you and reward those who post tons of average ones. just stick with it, get in contact with other animation channels they could learn a lot from you!
Wow Max. Those are some incredibly inspiring words. I do have six episodes in progress and am looking forward to sharing them! Thank you for making my day.
Hi Tiara, the Spanish Crown issued a Royal Decree in San Basilio de Palenque in 1691. San Lorenzo de Los Negros pre-dates that. But, you are right in mentioning that Yanga's town should have said that it was "among the first", as I am now learning that South America has had other successful revolts that pre-date Yanga's independence.
Love these. You should do one on Paschal Beverly Randolf the black man responsible for bringing magick and metaphysics to the West.His story is amazing. I think those "most interesting man in the world" beer commercials are based off his life.
I will definitely look into his history! Thank you for sharing your input and for your kind words and support. Please be sure to subscribe to our email listing - www.heroesofcolor.com/subscribe.html
How about changing the title to "African Heroes"? Also, how about a video on John Horse, Toussaint L'ouverture, George Biassou, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, François Capois, Eugene Jacques Bullard, Ahmet Ali Celikten, Abu Bkr Ibn Umar, Malik Ambar, David Fagan, Queen Nzinga, Amilcar Cabral and the PAIGC, Thomas Sankara and of course the story of Thornton and Lucie Blackburn.
Wow I really love that west African and Mayan beat remix. I probably won't get a reply but can someone tell me where I can find those beats? American and African tribal beats are my favorite.
@heroesofcolor - This is great work! What's the best way to reach you to discuss fair use of your youtube content? I would like to incorporate the content in this video, into another project. A reasonable donation to/for your effort is not a problem. Please let me know. Thanks.
It’s sad that Mexico didn’t acknowledge the impact that Afro-Americans had on New Spains’ (modern day Mexico) culture growth until 1992. It was a hidden heritage until that year and even to this day, this side of Mexico’s history is not vastly well known.
Yanga is a hero here in Mexico, the statue of him in Veracruz is awe inspiring

Crazy shit is I'm heavy on learning about history and never heard of this dude I I barley knew Africans were taken over to Mexico

This wasn't out six years ago.
Gaspard Yanga was not from West africa but from central africa. He came from Gabon.
Marie eyang Gabon is technically west african territory. So it’s also accurate
Wow I really love that west African and Mayan beat remix. I probably won't get a reply but can someone tell me where I can find those beats? American and African tribal beats are my favorite.

hi
It’s sad that Mexico didn’t acknowledge the impact that Afro-Americans had on New Spains’ (modern day Mexico) culture growth until 1992. It was a hidden heritage until that year and even to this day, this side of Mexico’s history is not vastly well known.
