Every year since 2007, Texas A&M students, faculty and distinguished guests have gathered in celebration of the Black community and reflected on Martin Luther King Jr.’s global impact.
The annual Afro-Latinx Festival will celebrate culture and art to bring awareness and appreciation to the Afro-Latin community.
This Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m., MSC Committee for the Awareness of Mexican-American Culture, or CAMAC, a Latinx programming committee, and MSC Woodson Black Awareness Committee, or WBAC, will livestream their annual Afro-Latinx Festival on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
CAMAC Co-Director of Education Fabiola Roman said she is most looking forward to the musical performances.
âI want to emphasize the music, the reggaeton and the salsa that theyâre going to play,â Roman said. â2020 was rough, but I feel like music can uplift that, especially because Iâm Latina, and even for other people I know, Latin music upbeats the mood.â
