Afro Colombian Mural



The history of Columbia and the importance of the their freedom here in America as Afro-Colombians has been vital to the Spanish community here in DC. It is located in the alley at the 1300 block of U Street NW, almost at the corner with 14th Street NW. this mural was painted by Joel Bergner. He has done work all over DC in Latin American community centers and other places. This art work was dedicated to the Afro descendants displaced by Colombia's internal violence in the past years. This was to give Colombians a sense of home since they relocated here in America.
