All things Mexico.

Barack Obama is first Black president in North America? 

Nope, Vicente Guerrero (b. 1782- d. 1831) is first Black Indian president in Mexico, North America and Latin America. He born poor to a Black Indian family and growing up without formal schooling, he taught himself to read and write as he trained his troops in the Sierra Madre mountains. He was able to help write Mexico’s constitution, free slaves, take steps to educate and elevate for poor and people of color, and serve as his country’s first president of African and Native American descent. State of Guerrero was named after Vicente Guerrero.
