We start off at the West Indian/AfroCaribbean history of Panama at the AfroAntillean Museum near the city’s old colonial sector, to go over the history of the AfroCaribbean labor that not only built the Panama Canal but also the country’s infrastructure from the railroad to the artificial 77 km waterway that is the Panama Canal. One of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, it serves the vital function of connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean across the Isthmus of Panama, facilitating international maritime trade for over 100 years. The railroad that was integral during the Gold Rush of the U.S. and for migration from other continents to the U.S., as well as the Black labor on banana plantations, how the country stripped citizenship of its Black citizens and the ongoing fight as we go into the 2020 census for the just recognition of AfroPanamanians.
