Law 14,759 of 21 December 2023 declared 20 November a national holiday for the Day of Zumbi and Black Consciousness.

National recognition links the 1971 initiative of Grupo Palmares to a nationwide public calendar, while the deeper work of confronting racism and the legacies of slavery continues beyond commemoration.
