Landless Workers’ Movement\u00a0(MTST) and Popular Brigades<\/a> (BP) celebrated\u00a0Black Awareness Month<\/a> by occupying one of the most elite beaches in Rio de Janeiro. For the 5th time<\/a>, Afro-Brazilians from the MTST and communities across Rio went to Leblon<\/a>, in Rio’s South Zone<\/a>, for the “Leblon Will Become Palmares<\/a>” event, a peaceful celebration of black lives and rights. The event’s name is a reference to\u00a0Quilombo dos Palmares<\/a>, a community of fugitive slaves established during colonial times in the state of Alagoas, in Brazil’s Northeast<\/a>, and a symbol of black resistance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
