Rio de Janeiro, besides having been the Imperial Capital, guards many traces of slavery and the history of blacks in Brazil. Therefore, the "Little Africa" tour is essential to better understand this history, which is little publicized in the media and schools.The tour aims to show the transformations that Rio de Janeiro has undergone since the arrival of the Royal Family in 1808, especially the reforms of Pereira Passos in the 20th century, and to bring to the public knowledge important information about the real contribution of blacks to the history of Brazil. Come with us to deepen your knowledge on this topic!
