ABSTRACT
Affirmative action to promote racial equality has resigned the struggle for the right to education in Brazil. The entry of subjects belonging to diverse groups and historically treated as unequal in higher education, the presence of black people in public competitions of the federal administration through the implementation of racial quotas, the various initiatives for teaching African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in elementary schools, as well as the rights guaranteed in the Statute of Racial Equality, have brought out diverse knowledge and experiences produced by black people in their political, social, and cultural experiences. All this has transformed science, education and society.
