Many advocacy groups, including the National Association of Displaced Afro-Colombians (AFRODES) or Chao Racismo, as well as various Afro-Colombian activists, have come together to fight for this ethnic group's rights.[28] However, Afro-Colombians continue to protest for their rights and demand equality between themselves and all non-Afro Colombians in certain social aspects.

By the 16th century, the maroon society had a flourishing population that also included runaways from Columbia's gold mines and sugar plantations. The Africans collaborated with the area's Natives, sharing their knowledge of the region's resources. They established communities that defended them from Spanish attacks. The maroon society continued on to be successful, operating as an independent state governed by a series of Afro-Amerindian rulers. Still to this day, some of the cultures and traditions remain. ]]> 2021-11-19 23:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ho_e/grszuc138zznihq6/wish/1903042498 1063492 https://padlet.com/ho_e/grszuc138zznihq6/wish/1903043124 An enslaved man named Miguel del Barrio led the rebellion on Nueva Segovia de Buria.

He proclaimed himself as the prince of the African lands. Before becoming Yanga, the enslaved were a part of the first rebellion in 1522. They murdered thousands of Spaniards on Christmas Night. After seeing defeat, they fled towards the mountains and became a maroon society.

The Yanga did successfully resist an attack in 1609. The maroon was burned by the Spaniards, but the people fled into the surrounding terrain, which they knew all too well. Finally, the terms that the Yanga had tried to negotiate with beforehand were accepted with little conditions. Today, there is a town in Veracruz, Mexico known as Yanga. The current population in this city is 17,902 citizens.

The "Viceroyalty of New Spain", which lasted from 1535 - 1821, is the time period related to this maroon community.

I was not able to find the initial population of this maroon. :(

He died in battle by Spanish forces in 1555. Before his death, in the same year, he and his men launched an attack on a town where the burned down a church and killed a priest, Toribio Ruiz, and six other settlers. After his death, his kingdom fell and most of his followers were re-enslaved, but his legacy lived on. Freeing many enslaved women and men and bringing them to safety in his own colony, he was a liberator and continues to inspire people today.

The Spanish took advantage of the Taínos' good faith and enslaved them, forcing them to work in the gold mines and in the construction of forts.
Friar Bartolomé de las Casas, who had accompanied Ponce de León, was outraged at the Spanish treatment of the Taíno. In 1512 he protested at the council of Burgos at the Spanish Court. He fought for the freedom of the natives and was able to secure their rights. As an alternative, Las Casas suggested the importation and use of African slaves. In 1517, the Spanish Crown permitted its subjects to import twelve slaves each, thereby beginning the African slave trade in their colonies. In 1527, the first major slave rebellion occurred in Puerto Rico, as dozen of slaves fought against the colonists in a brief revolt. The few slaves who escaped retreated to the mountains, where they resided as maroons with surviving Taínos.
