List of Afro-Latinos

Many Brazilians, Dominicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Panamanians, Hondurans and other Latinos can fall under this label. 95% of the Africans who came into the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade were scattered about Latin America and the Caribbean. The very first Africans to reach the New World arrived on the island of Hispaniola, which is the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Dominicans and Haitians are descendants of the first African slaves in the New World, yet the majority of Africans to inhabit any North American nation inhabited Brazil. Only 5% of the Africans to arrive in the Americas went to North America, who are the African Americans, descendants of the last and the fewest Africans to reach the New World.
