the canal zone, a strip of land extending 5 miles on either side of the can out is leased to the united states and is administered from the canal zone spell bow. ah, a my great grandfather on my mother's side came to panama in the early 20th century. he was one of the 10s of thousands of black men who came from across the caribbean, looking for work in panama, in places like the canal or the railroad. a loan is a beautiful province, rich province in so many ways culture, you're rich. it's also a port for the panama canal. ah,

both if you walk through the streets of cologne, you would see a lot of poverty. you would see buildings that are falling apart, that are not for people to live in, but people are living there. and you will see a city that has been abandoned by the rest of the country. ah, i move to the u. s. when i finished high school, it was shocking to me that most people in the us have no idea that their country occupied panama build a fence around the canal and said, this is ours. keep out. not only that, but the u. s. important tinker policies into panama, and create it's separate, leaving areas for white workers, and black and brown workers. this clarified anti black and segregationist practices that had existed since enslaved africans were 1st brought to panama, bakery america basis, in different employers,
