MADRID (Reuters) -In Madrid, specialised tour guides are leading visitors past the customary landmarks to focus on an African heritage that barely appears in Spanish textbooks and collective memory, joining a trend seen in other European cities where slavery and the colonial legacy have previously been seldom acknowledged.
Kwame Ondo, who has been offering Black history tours through downtown Madrid since 2022, said growing up in Spain and not seeing any Black people in history books never sat right with him, so he decided to look into the subject himself.
