Black American Experiences in Spain

“Recently, my Aunt Chris, my mother’s sister, visited my family and me here in Seville, Spain. Her visit was more than just a reunion—it was a journey into the past, a connection to my roots. As we sat together, Aunt Chris unraveled stories that had been hidden in the folds of our family’s history, tales of bravery and resilience that shaped our legacy. From my great-grandfather’s daring escape from a Georgia plantation to the warm sands of Florida, our family’s story is a testament to survival and the pursuit of freedom—a story I now carry forward as I build my own legacy in Spain.”
