The Conselho Federal de Cultura (CFC) was the main organ responsible for the cultural policies between 1967 and 1975. The CFC was formed by 24 intellectuals with the objective of organizing the cultural sector and elaborating an unprecedented Plano Nacional de Cultura. The creation of the Conselho was integrated to the participation of these intellectuals in the Brazilian political and cultural sectors since the decade of 1920. The speeches and projects organized by the Conselho incorporated the civic ideals elaborated by the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985). The creation of culture calendar annual for schools and cultural institutions was an attempt to value the civic elements that would compose the national culture. The association between memory and history appear here translated through the ideas of historical memory and civic practice, as used by dictatorships.
