ABSTRACT
The legal recognition of quilombos in Brazil represents a historical mark on the visibility of ethnical and cultural differences in the society. The myth of a racial democracy hid the pains of slavery causing injuries to the afro-descendants identities. By analyzing the struggle for recognition, we realized the need for expansion of rights, and quilombola education is among them. The challenges are big, as it is necessary to change the school culture which excludes diversity. In the quilombola representation, it is not the past that returns. It is the present that brings out the history and ancestry within the experiences that lead to social organization. Educational proposals that start from ethnicity and culture can embrace the context and the territorial text. The quilombolas bring the territoriality which speaks through the oral history, leading to the listening of these meanings.
