Brazilian legal provisions, in general, help in the anti-racist fight. The mandatory teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture is one of them, however, the Eurocentric vision with which our history deals with this subject has hindered the assimilation of the values that this culture should have in Brazil. The objective of this research was to analyze a way of drawing attention to black cultural influence in the daily life of a classroom and evaluate how the research subjects – elementary school II students – responded to this form of approach. Using anti-racist racial literacy as an action tool – by associating the African culture learned in the basic education school curriculum with the racial and social understanding of students – we sought to recognize aspects of regional, national and international black histories. In view of the above, the result was considered satisfactory regarding understanding, appreciation and anti-racist racial awareness presented by part of future generations.
