On 20 November 1995, Black organizations from across Brazil marched in Brasília in the Marcha Zumbi dos Palmares contra o Racismo, pela Cidadania e a Vida.

It asserted that formal abolition had not delivered equal citizenship and called for public policy addressing the continuing effects of slavery and racism.
