Black Consciousness Day: A Time to Reflect and Take Action Black Consciousness Day, celebrated on November 20, is a fundamental date in Brazil, dedicated to remembering and honoring the struggle and resistance of black people against racism, inequality, and all forms of oppression. The date was chosen in honor of Zumbi dos Palmares, leader of the Quilombo dos Palmares and a symbol of black resistance during the colonial period. Zumbi was assassinated on November 20, 1695, becoming an icon of the struggle for freedom and the rights of black people. More than a celebration, this day invites us to deeply reflect on the historical impact of slavery and the legacies it left, such as structural racism, social and economic inequalities, and the exclusion of black people from positions of power and decision-making. It is also an opportunity to recognize and value the contributions of Afro-Brazilian culture in the formation of the national identity, present in music, dance, cuisine, religion, and so many other spheres. Furthermore, Black Awareness Day reminds us of the need for concrete actions to build a more just and egalitarian society. This includes combating racism in all its forms, supporting inclusive public policies, promoting anti-racist education, and strengthening the black movement. May this day inspire commitment and transformation, joining forces so that racial equality ceases to be just an ideal and becomes a reality in the daily lives of all Brazilians. Zumbi dos Palmares lives on in the fight for justice and dignity, and his legacy continues to guide the path of resistance and hope.
