"Learning about the brutal, and often violent, history of race in the U.S. during my K-12 education initiated my quest to learn more about Afro-Salvadoran history." https://medium.com/@mayraparada92/learning-about-my-blackness-afrodescendencia-in-el-salvador-c491d4e4824b
One day during elementary school I explained to my parents about slavery in the U.S. and asked them about slavery in El Salvador. They answered with a simple phrase, “nunca llegaron negros,” Black people never arrived in El Salvador.
"Later I realized this myth is perpetuated because of the immigration law enacted in 1933 by [the far-right] Dictator Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez that excluded the entry of African descended people (among other non-Europeans) into El Salvador."

El Salvador Race Laws
In the 1930s, the President of El Salvador, General Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez, put it place a series of race laws banning blacks, Gypsies, Asians, and Arabs from entering the country. These laws were removed until the 1980s.

"El Salvador is the only country in Central America that does not have a #Garifuna, #Miskito or #AfroAntillean population. The other six republics have at least one, or all of these groups living within their borders. El Salvador's connection with Africa goes back to a much ...
.... to a much earlier time, to the era of Spanish colonial rule. The latter migrations of African descended peoples settling in the other republics did not include #ElSalvador, and as a result #Salvadorans will tell you that their country is the only one in Central America ...
... that does not have a "black population"
This is not all together correct.
"For centuries El Salvador has mixed its blood lines so completely into one multi-racial society that the remote African origins of some of its citizens are unknown even to those unknown even to those that have such a background."

The following information is intended for self-hating Hispanics who think "The Blacks" should just "get over it" -- and for Afro-Hispanic children who experience the cruelty of racism: Your suspicions are true, and your RIGHTEOUS RAGE is understandable.
