This month marks the 150th anniversary of the abolition of African slavery in Puerto Rico.
On March 22, 1873, Spain’s parliament passed a law that ended slavery in Puerto Rico. That law ostensibly freed nearly 30,000 enslaved Africans on the island. But it was a freedom that was conditional: Those “free” Afro Puerto Ricans were obligated to continue working for their enslavers for at least three years as a way of compensating the enslavers for their future loss of labor.
that because of the reality of how African slavery ended in Puerto Rico, it’s important not to solely observe the 150th anniversary of Emancipation Day/Day of the abolition of slavery.

Murray-Irizarry said his organization’s commemoration of March 22, 1873, will last for more than one day. Casa Paoli plans on holding events throughout the year, until at least March 22, 2024.-century birthplace of the tenor Antonio Paoli . Their building, which was restored in 1987, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, but damages to the structure due to recent earthquakes in southern Puerto Rico have left it in a dire state.
