To their first actions discussed earlier, Afrodescendent organizations added the creation of an exceptional social and political movement across Latin America. One example of this is the Central American Black Organization (CABO), founded in Belize in 1995, whose mission was to establish a network of Afrodescendent organizations in Central America. CABO brings together more than 20 organizations from Central America and from the Afrodescendent diaspora in the United States. Its goal is to promote the comprehensive development of the towns and communities of Central America with African heritage.  
At the same time, a vibrant musical movement made reggae, parranda or sandunga, punta and calypso, among others, the regional anthems of Central America. There was also a push to spread the appreciation for jazz and gospel music. This movement provided new ingredients to Central American identities.  
Along with the rise of these social organizations, an intellectual movement began leaving its mark on literary works that experimented with new themes  
and linguistic structures. This is exemplified in the writings of authors such as Eulalia Bernard, Shirley Campbell, Delia McDonald, Isabel Estrada, June Beer, Annette Fenton, Franklin Perry, Yolanda Rossman, Deborah Robb, Andira Watson, Alderman Johnson Roden, Antonieta Máximo, Dolores Joseph, Myrna Manzanares, Wingston González, Carlos Wynter, Gerardo Maloney, Melanie Taylor Herrera and Quince Duncan (Mosby, 2003; Britton González, 2014).
