Today, November 20 is celebrated, chiefly in Rio de Janeiro, as a day of black awareness (consciência negra). The day has special meaning for those Brazilians of black African descent who honor Zumbi as a hero, freedom fighter, and symbol of freedom. Zumbi has become a hero of the twentieth-century Afro-Brazilian political movement. - Wikipedia
