O Exemplo began publication in Porto Alegre on 11 December 1892. Produced by Black journalists and community members, it challenged racist representations and reported on the interests, associations, and civic claims of Afro-Brazilians. Its long life—through 1930, despite interruptions—makes it a crucial archive of Black political thought in the post-abolition Republic. Reading it alongside state and mainstream newspapers restores Black people as producers of historical interpretation, not merely subjects described by others.
