Obama praises ACDI/VOCA’s land-title work in Colombia

President Obama praises ACDI/VOCA’s work with Afro-Colombians as part of a USAID project. Obama and Colombian President Santos handed over titles to 3,921 hectares of land to members of the communities of Palenque de San Basilio and La Boquilla, many of whom were descendants of runaway slaves. The president called it a “historic day—decades, even centuries in the making.”
