The National Black Consciousness Day is celebrated in Brazil on 20
November 20th. It was established in 2003 and set up nationwide by
Law No. 12,519, of 10 November 2011, being considered holiday in
about a thousand cities across the country and in the states of
Alagoas, Amazonas, Amapá, Mato Grosso and Rio de Janeiro
completely through state decrees.
In states that have not adopted the law, the responsibility is the
mayor who decides whether there will be a holiday in the city. The
occasion is dedicated to reflection on the inclusion of blacks in
Brazilian society.
The date was chosen to coincide with the day of the death of
"Zumbi", in 1695. Thus, the Day of Black Consciousness seeks to
refer to black resistance against slavery in general, from the first
transport Africans to Brazilian soil (1549).
Some organizations such as the Black Movement (the largest of its
kind in the country) organized lectures and educational events
aimed especially black children. The institution seeks to avoid the
development of self-prejudice, that is, the inferiority in society.
