Brazil is preparing today to commemorate today's "Dia Nacional da Consciência Negra" (Day of National Black Awareness). This day, in particular, celebrates a hero Capoeira is long familiar with: Zumbi dos Palmares. On November 20th, 1695 Zumbi dos Palmares was murdered and for that reason, the united black movement in Brazil decided on this day to commemorate black awareness.
