“Ebano: A Photographic Exhibit”, is coming to the National Orange Show Art Gallery. The opening night reception will commence on Feb. 1 and the exhibit will be on display at the gallery for one month, through March 1. The exhibit is a celebration of African heritage in Mexico. During the Colonial period in 15th century, nearly 200,000 Africans were transported to Mexico as a result of the slave trade. Afro-Mexicans were born in Mexico and followed their parents into slavery. African slaves diligently mined silver in the Mexican states of Zacatecas, Taxco and Guanajuato, to name a few. Slavery was abolished in the 18th century, causing the Afro-Mexican population to decline. As for the remaining Afro-Mexican population in Mexico, they continue to be productive citizens in society. The National Orange Show Art Gallery is located at 689 E. St., San Bernardino, through the Gate 1, E Street Entrance. The exhibit will be open during the hours of 5 to 8 p.m.
