📅 10 July 1880 📍 Brazil

Ferreira de Meneses launched Gazeta da Tarde in Rio de Janeiro. The newspaper became a major forum against slavery and racial hierarchy; José do Patrocínio later directed it and used its pages to mobilize opinion. Its history shows that Black journalists and editors were not merely subjects of abolitionist debate but producers of political analysis and organizers of public action.
