Esperanza,

 

I'm curious where you read about the blacks outnumbering the Spaniards in Zacatecas.  I've got really weird hair and have been traced with certainty to a few coyotes and a black, all from Durango, which is next to Zacatecas.  I've never met another Mexican with hair as strange as mine - coarse, dark, wavy, and it won't hold a curl.  I can even forecast the weather with this hair.  Once I told everyone it was going to rain and it was sunny out.  Nobody believed me and then it rained that night.  Sometimes I think God gave me this hair so I'd always have something to do.

Actually, for a while, blacks outnumbered Spaniards in Zacatecas as well because they were being used in the silver mines that dot the whole state.  Did you know that Michoacan had an enormous amount of Africans there early on as well? 

 

Both my husband (from Michoacan) and myself would bet that we have African blood running through our veins - primarily because of the very nappy hair that both sides of the relatives have.
