107th Annual Meeting and Conference

September 29, 2022 - October 1, 2022

We continue celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting Afro-Latino excellence with #BlackFacts. Today, we recognize Ruth de Souza, a trailblazing Afro-Brazilian actress who broke barriers in Brazilian cinema and theater. Her legacy continues to inspire across cultures. _Ruth de Souza was a pioneering Afro-Brazilian actress who broke barriers in Brazilian cinema, theater, and television, becoming one of the first Black actresses to gain national prominence. Born in 1921, she worked tirelessly to challenge racial stereotypes in the entertainment industry, portraying complex, dignified characters that defied the limited roles typically offered to Black actors. Her career, which spanned over 70 years, paved the way for future generations of Afro-Brazilian artists, and her legacy is celebrated as a crucial part of Black history in both Brazil and the broader Afro-Latino community._#ASALH #RuthdeSouza #HispanicHeritageMonth #AfroLatinoHistory ...
