The 1991 Political Constitution of Colombia recognized for the first time in the country's republican history that its population is multicultural and multiethnic. In this context, a compendium of norms was developed that guaranteed differential collective rights to the different ethnic groups settled in the territory. Particularly for the Afro-Colombian, Palenquera and Raizal population, Law 70 of 1993 was issued as the first legislation establishing rights for these communities. Among the issues, it contemplates are ethno-education and the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies as pedagogical instruments that guarantee, on the one hand, the strengthening of African ancestral knowledge in the ethnic territories; and, on the other hand, the visibility before the entire nation from the educational system of the contributions of the black communities in the construction of the nation in different spheres.
