Frente Negra Brasileira

Frente Negra Brasileira, part of the Black Movement of Brazil, was Brazil's first Black political party. Formed in 1931 and active until the 1937 suspension of democracy by the then president, Getúlio Vargas, the Frente mobilized Brazil's Afro-Descendant community for a project of racial equality. Desegregation campaigns and popular education focusing on literacy were just two of the ways the Frente engaged in activism.
