Black Is Beltza

Overview

On October 10, 1965, the streets of New York City come alive with a vibrant parade showcasing wooden giants from Pamplona, celebrating Basque heritage. However, a shadow looms over the festivities as local officials prohibit the inclusion of two black giants, reflecting the deep-seated racial biases that linger in society. The exclusion sparks outrage and highlights the ongoing struggle against discrimination. As the parade unfolds, it becomes a powerful statement about cultural identity and the fight for equality, challenging the boundaries imposed by prejudice.
