AFRO PALESTINE: The African Diaspora in Palestine

The Afro-Palestinian community has a remarkable history. Poised at the intersection of their African ancestry and Palestinian nationality, this Afro-Arab community also lives on contested ground, under the authority of Israeli forces occupying Jerusalem and other areas of Palestine. From pilgrims to resistance fighters, we take a look at the history of the African diaspora in Palestine and what life is like for the community today!

Special thanks go to Mousa Qous and the African Community Society in Jerusalem for all the amazing information and images they provided in the making of the video:
