Mexico's African history. In this video, I visit several historic sites like the Olmec Museum, Yanga, and an afro-descendant community in Oaxaca Chacahua Mexico to learn more about the black people that live in Mexico and its African history. Xalapa Museum of Anthropology is located in Xalapa Veracruz Mexico and is the largest collection of artifacts from the Olmec civilization, the mother culture of Mesoamerica. Yanga Mexico is located in the southern area of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, named after Gaspar Yanga, the cimarron leader who in 1609 resisted an attack by Spanish forces trying to regain control of the area. Yanga Mexico is also known as one of the first free slave establishments in the Americas
