For the Love of a Prince Bob Hayes

From the 16th Century, African slavers discharged their cargo in Mexico's port of Veracruz. But even today, Mexico is in a state of denial re: the existence and contrbution of its black population. "The Love Of A Prince" depicts this era, highlighting one Yanga, an escaped slave who fought against Spanish soldiers for more than 30 years before securing the FIRST black/Indian liberation in the Western Hemisphere. His fictional descendents tell Mexico's black history through their eyes...their struggle against the nation's rigid racism...their romantic exploits... achievements...their dedication to ensuring their history not be expunged.
