I've heard about her story but as I was reading more about her from your[kris columbus? lol] post, I found out about another great Afro-Argentinia Independence war hero, Antonio Ruiz...
LOL.. you need to check him out. He was the guy who shouted 'Long Live Buenos Aires' before he was executed.

Folks don't realize how many Black Argentinians sacrificed their lives during the country's war of independence. Yet, the mutthaforking euros & light-skin mulattoes would later welcome escaping German Nazis to the country, provide them with land etc., over the Afro-Argentinians. Dirty wicked racists!
