Removal of biased comments
This article seems to have been included in the series of Dominican topics that one (several?) wikipedia editor is using to promote a supposedly racist beginning of the Dominican Republic. Dominican (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Rosario Sánchez's parents were of partially African ancestry
I think it is important to recognize the Afro-Dominican identity of Rosario Sánchez. His mother, Olaya del Rosario, was a _pardo libre_ according to her baptismal record, which means mixed-race and in the Dominican context mixed African-European. His father may also have been of partially African ancestry. Rosario Sánchez himself was recognized during his life as a person of mixed race. As with other Afro-Latino heroes of the 19th century independence struggles - like Morelos and Guerrero in Mexico, Rivadavia in Argentina, Piar in Venezuela, Padilla in Colombia - he was posthumously "whitened" to make him, and by extension the nation, more acceptable and "civilized" in the eyes of the North Americans and Europeans.
