Discovery walk

After Afronet, we just walked around Palenque with our group talking to people, looking at murals, and learning along the way.

Written in Spanish and Palenquero.  Restoring and preserving the rememorable history and culture of the Palenque territory.

Palenque flag and I love being Black 

Right in front of these mural was a soccer field.  None of the kids had on shoes and they looked free and happy.  Of course the BEST Boys jumped in the game.

Ancestral and community house of justice

All dispute are handled here by community elders.  No police, no court system, justice a community that is united and holds each other accountable. 


Livestock everywhere!!
