<p>Statement from MCC Argentina to the 2014 MCC People of African Descent Conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqj_41DbBGQ</p><p>ICM / MCC Argentina</p><p>Acompaña con un saludo fraterno</p><p>We send you fraternal Greetings,</p><p>La Conferencia de Personas Afrodescendientes de ICM</p><p>To the 2014 MCC PAD Conference</p><p>La población negra entró en Argentina con el Virreinato del Río de la Plata. La gran mayoría de las personas de raza negra, llegaron a formar más de la mitad de la población en la mayoría de las provincias de Argentina durante todo el siglo 18. En los siglos 19 y 20 debido al escaso acceso a la salud y al maltrato en algunos casos, la población esclava fue desapareciendo.</p><p>Black people came to Argentina during the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. In most provinces in Argentina during the 18th century, black people made up as much as half of the population. In the 19th and 20th centuries due to poor access to health care and abuse, most of black (slave) population disappeared.</p><p>A partir del 2005 comenzó en Argentina un redescubrimiento de la población Afro. Se hizo el primer censo que dio como resultado la presencia de 149,973 personas que formaban 63,000 familias a lo largo y ancho de Argentina.</p><p>Beginning in 2005 Argentina has begun a process of re-discovering our People of African descendent. The first census, recognizing people of African descendant as a designated category, resulted in the presence of 149,973 persons forming 63,000 families throughout Argentina.</p><p>Argentina tiene una gran deuda con la población negra que en muchos casos la dejó morir por lo cual como Iglesia pedimos perdón.</p><p>Argentina owes a great debt to People of African Descent as in many cases, Argentinians left, those whom had previously been enslaved, to die. As the Church we ask for your forgiveness.</p><p>Y en esta oportunidad que se están reuniendo la comunidad afrodescendiente de ICM queremos bendecirles y queremos estar de alguna manera con ustedes. Porque de la misma manera que se han establecido en ICM alianzas estratégicas con el feminismo y alianzas con la diversidas sexual, creemos que la población Afro es parte del ADN de ICM, asi que como Iglesia los bendecimos…sé ICM Somos ICM</p><p>As you gather, we offer a blessing and extend our desire to be with you. In the same way that MCC has established strategic alliances with feminism and sexual diversity, we believe that People of African descendent are also a part of MCC’s DNA. We bless you as you gather to Be MCC. We all are MCC.</p>
