NEW YORK, NY – The Afro-Latino Festival of New York is excited to announce its lineup for Afro-Latino Fest NYC 2016, July 8-10!
The festival continues to expand its programming, balancing its core themes of education, celebration and affirmation across three exciting days featuring more than 20+ performing artists and 25 panelists at various locations throughout New York City.

The festival starts on Friday, July 8, with the newly expanded Afrolatin Talks Symposium to be held at the world famous Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture located in Harlem. The Schomburg Center will host and sponsor the Afrolatin Talks, which have transformed into a full day of events addressing various issues affecting Afrolatinos in the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.
The first day will include several panels with participants from the Washington Office on Latin America, the Open Society Foundations and the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum, to name a few, as well as a screening of the documentary Nana Dijo (Nana Said) and musical performances by salsa, timba and Latin jazz bands including Tito Puente, Jr.

THE AFROLATINO FESTIVAL OF NEW YORK:
The Afrolatino Festival of N.Y. celebrates the contributions of Afrolatinos through networking, cultural exchange, artistic showcases, culinary presentations, and education. It serves as an important platform for organizations working within Afrolatino communities to raise social awareness and highlight their work. Our mission is to provide a positive public space to pay tribute to the African roots of people from Latin America and the Caribbean. We continue to commemorate the International Decade for People of African Descent declared by the U.N (2015-2024) and its principles of “justice,” “recognition” and “development.”

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games

It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.

It is said that even one of the popes was of this Marrano stock.
