Ancient Mexican statues with what many call African features. DNA studies showing unexpected genetic markers. A 2020 academic paper claiming African-Olmec connections—then retracted. This video investigates the archaeological evidence suggesting pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic contact, why mainstream archaeology dismisses it.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
