Os 20 years of affirmative actions: resistance, justice and the struggle for implementation was the theme of this year’s third edition of Black People Seminar in Ceará, an event that took place on October 26th, at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and the State University of Ceará (UECE). The University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusofonia (Unilab) is one of the institutions supporting the Seminar.
The main objective of the meeting was to discuss the persistent challenges for the implementation of affirmative actions in education, due to the lack of full application of the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture in schools, as well as the maintenance and improvement of the quota policy for inclusion of black populations in higher education and the job market, with heteroidentification as its main control mechanism.
The Affirmative Action and Education Forum for Ethnic-Racial Relations in Higher Education in the State of Ceará is currently responsible for organizing the Black and Black Seminars in Ceará, this year updated to Black People Seminar in Ceará. This group is an articulation formed by institutional representations, associations, social movements and individuals (researchers, academic and popular, who work with African, indigenous, black, quilombola and other traditional peoples themes),
