We are kicking off our batizado week today. Let’s do this!

Today is "Dia da Consciência Negra (Black Awareness Day)" in Brazil, also known as Zumbi Day.

Who was Zumbi dos Palmares?

He was the last leader of the famous Quilombo dos Palmares, located in Serra da Barriga, in Alagoas. Born free, he was captured and given to a Portuguese missionary at the age of six. He escaped in 1670, returning to his place of origin. In 1678, for not accepting negotiations with the Government of Pernambuco, Zumbi challenged the leadership of Ganga Zumba and became the new leader of Quilombo dos Palmares, maintaining the resistance against Portuguese oppression. He was arrested and killed at the age of 40, on November 20, 1695. The date was established by law as the National Day of Black Consciousness.
