Decree-Law 37 of 2 December 1937 dissolved Brazil’s political parties under the Estado Novo dictatorship. The Frente Negra Brasileira had converted itself into a political party in 1936; it could no longer operate under that name and organizational form after the decree. This was part of a nationwide authoritarian closure of political life, not a law directed only at Black organizations. For the FNB, the decree interrupted a rare national vehicle for Black political representation, though community and cultural work continued in other forms.
