MLDO intern to present on Afro-Religion in Latin America

05/04/2021 
The SUNY Cortland campus community is invited to join a discussion of the adaptations of many religions in Latin America.
Maria Klara Ventura, an Multicultural Life and Diversity Office intern and junior dual major in international studies and anthropology, will facilitate this seminar, "Afro-Religion in Latin America," on Wednesday, May 5. This event starts at 6 p.m. via WebEx. It is free and does not require advance registration.
“There isn’t much attention to Afro-descent Latin issues,” said Ventura. “There is a lack of representation.”
According to the Pew Research Center, more than 425 million Catholics live in Latin America, nearly 40% of the total Catholic population in the world. Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Brazilian and indigenous religions are practiced by many Latin Americans, even by those who identify as Catholic or Protestant.
