The historiographic period on screen is of considerable relevance for understanding the processo d declining slavery in Brazil, the advento f the Republic and the pos-abolition period. Suche factors were evidente not only after the enactment of the law of May 13, 1888, but as a reflection of the actions of men and women who challenged the slave order in order to weaken it until the decree of the law and schooling appears as one of the ways of resistance and changes in the lives of these people.
