The Latinx identity is exceptionally diverse, and the lines between race and ethnicity often blur. Often marginalized within the Latinx community, many Afro-Latinx people around the world embrace their heritage and resist cultural erasure.
According to the Latinx Student Service and Outreach, as of fall 2020, 13% of Georgia State’s students identify as Hispanic or Latinx of any race. That’s a total of 6,983 students, the highest number of students in a University System of Georgia institution.
