The \u201cblackiteracy\u201d project R\u00ea Tinta was created to promote literacy among black children in Rio de Janeiro and help teach their classmates to be anti-racist. It all started through a comic strip, but is growing into a social policy that offers books by black authors and reading circles to the little ones.<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cBlackiteracy\u201d, or <\/span>afrobetiza\u00e7\u00e3o<\/span><\/i><\/a> in Portuguese, involves pairing literacy and anti-racist education in early childhood. The term, which has been gaining ground in the last decade, is based on the principle that no one is born racist<\/a>. For this reason, it understands the importance of empowering children to reduce the harms caused by structural racism<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
