“[The killing of the black man 40-year-old welder Joao Alberto Silveira Freitas by white guards] An extreme but sadly all too common example of the violence suffered by Black people in Brazil. It offers a stark illustration of the persistent structural discrimination and racism people of African descent face. Black Brazilians endure structural and institutional racism, exclusion, marginalisation and violence, with, in many cases, lethal consequences. Afro-Brazilians are excluded and almost invisible from decision-making structures and institutions.”
