📅 20 November 2003 📍 Brazil

Decree 4,886 instituted the National Policy for the Promotion of Racial Equality, linking federal action across areas such as education, culture and land. Its framework situated quilombola rights within a broader struggle against racial hierarchy. The policy’s existence should be distinguished from its implementation: communities continued to press public bodies to deliver concrete services and land regularization.
