Abstract
The article reflects on the rupture of the silence pact about the “quilombola” issue enhanced after the Constitution of 1988. To this end, considering that Constitutional Law took a century to recognize the legitimacy of the quilombola resistance (1888 to 1988), we start with the provision in art. 216, § 5, of the Brazilian Constitution, to inquire about the importance of studying the cultural heritage of sites that have historical reminiscences of the old quilombos and their implications in the legal field. The methodology used was a critical review of previous research.
