This visit was helpful to share Tembembe's work and position it as a key actor in the building of local schedules and to strengthen social movements that raise up the commitment of political and cultural recognition of Afrodescendants in Mexico. Our work is not just analysing public policies, nor is excluding other social groups, in fact, one of the strengths of the Center, is that we are able to establish links between antiracism and a lot of social themes.
