Desmitificando the date of the supposed release
Freitas*



We are in the month where if complete 121 years of the historical moment that finished legally with the idea of that the servitude black it for the crown of Portugal. Princess Isabel signs a document, that in thesis, she freed to those of which we descend three centuries of enslaved servitude almost. It will be that that signature decided the situation of the happened population of Africa and that until its descendants they live in this country? Which was the true reason that motivated the princess to subscribe the Law?



The signature of the Golden law in day 13 of May of 1888 served to free about 750 a thousand slaves who still existed in Brazil and forbade the slavery. It was one of the facts of bigger reach and visibility in the country, as for the subject of the disputes for the memory and of its meanings politicians, after this the movement of the Direct ones Since it culminated in the end of the military dictatorship, only can so equal be compared.



This date and the 20 of November place the population to reflect on the situation of the black people in the country. To rediscuss the past never was, nor never will be an easy task. Mainly the past of one parcels out of the Brazilian population that had burnt documents (names, origins, legacies had been obliterated) and its enslaved revolts were kept out of society.



It is from middle of century 18 that a referring to abolitionism speech goes to emerge in the thought occidental person, questioning gradually the legitimacy of the slavery joining itself it the parliament. In Brazil, it goes to be present, since ends of this century, in the questioning of the continuity of the traffic of slaves and in the critical one to the racial distinctions between the free population, empolgando the popular layers urban gifts in the sectors more radical than if had bound to the fights for the emancipation economic politics and.



Valley remembers that with the end of the traffic of the black population of Africa, in 1850, the price of the captive was raised, becoming to its restricted access the superior layers of the agriculture of death exportation, hitting this complicity of the set of the free population with the servile work, constructing the bases so that the abolitionism if became a great popular movement. Since then, the increasing pressure for the emancipation, in the seio of the enslaved population, only made to increase the presence afrodescendente in the free population in a general way. Preceded for escapes in mass, the Law of 13 of May nothing more made of what to recognize the freedom formal, already conquered in fact in the preceding months, culminating the biggest movement of civil disobedience of Brazilian history.



But as it says an African saying: Until the lions have its proper historians, hunted histories of will continue glorifying the hunter.



Independently of this, if it cannot leave to recognize that the abolition did not decide diverse essential questions concerning the inclusion of the biggest population layer in the Brazilian society. After the Golden law, the Brazilian State took few measures that favored its integration social, abandoning them it the proper luck. Of pra only I obtain here there to remember the creation of the SEPPIR, Law 10639/03 soon later substituted by law 11645/08, that it includes the aboriginal culture in the pertaining to school resume and the statute of the Racial Equality, being this waiting approval.



We would have to use to advantage this date to exactly revise what not yet it was repaired this population, after the signature of the Golden Law and this must be made to each 13 of May that to pass. It is hour to compromise to a constant reflection on practical ours, as many before us had made. We go to construct, e (reverse speed) to construct to the black and the black daily, questioning our past and tracing goals for a future more just.



The necessary Brazilian state to sign a document that if has equality in the difference, respect to the diversity human being and the promotion of the human development.



The special population and in the black movement with certainty will continue in the fights: For the approval of the statutes of promotion of the racial equality in all the state and our country, for the real application of education and the African culture in the schools and the universities, for the o equal access to the work and wages for todos/as, for one more good police boarding and the end of the extermínio of black youth, for the end of the proper enslaved work that still exists in all continent, the fight for a pertaining to school resume little more multicultural and multiracial eurocêntrico and, for better didactic books and an environment racially more democratic in the schools.



Let us make of this date fight moment, let us use this day to stand out our trajectory of inconformismo. This exactly inconformismo that in takes them to carry through small e great revolutions in our daily one, in the interaction with our familiar ones, our environments of work, our society.



Let us continue to consider the 20 of November as the great date of celebration in Brazil of an ethnic community - of the descendants of Africa who had arrived here enslaved. Date of the murder of I buzzed, powerful symbol to signal the inaquality conditions where the majority of africanos/as arrived at Brazil and to act as catalytic in the fight against from there decurrent the racial discrimination. Leader of the more lasting greater and quilombo of colonial Brazil. I buzzed of the Palmares if it presents today as the great hero of the resistance to the slavery, true arquétipo of not the submission of /as escravos/as africanos/as to the captivity.



As descending of Africa. We are the offspring of men and pulled out of its homes and chained worthy women in ships as animal. We are the heirs of a great explored e continent. We are the heirs of a past with the biggest crimes to the human rights and bigger slaughter of the humanity. We must not have shame of this past. We must have shame yes, of that if they had become desumanos the point to torture, to steal our culture and they will be become rich with our sweat.
