La Plaza del Mercado Central de Valencia, históricamente un punto de trata de personas esclavizadas desde el siglo XV, carece de reconocimiento sobre su pasado, mientras que proyectos como "Cartografías de la memoria negra" buscan visibilizar la historia de las comunidades negras y musulmanas en la ciudad y cuestionar la narrativa dominante que ha ignorado su contribución a la historia española. #HistoricalMemory #BlackHistory #Valencia

In the late 1940s, Bill Chapple controversially named a small building on his farm "Uncle Tom's Home," referring to the fictional character from Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, while it actually housed the real-life Josiah Henson, an abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad, whose legacy was later overshadowed by the negative connotations of the name "Uncle Tom," leading to a decades-long campaign that ultimately resulted in renaming the site to the "Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History" in July 2022. #BlackHistory #Abolition #RacialJustice #CA #US #GB
