Abstract
The Frente Negra (Black Front) in Rio de Janeiro aimed at working for the social, political, cultural and moral development of Afro-Brazilians. In order to do so, it promoted collective actions, advocated equality narratives and intervened in the national agenda by establishing dialogues with sectors of society in Rio. The purpose of the present article is to retrace some aspects of this association’s path in light of its aspirations and means of organization, struggle and identity.
