On Black Consciousness Day, demonstrators gathered at Carrefour locations and in public spaces to demand justice for João Alberto Silveira Freitas, killed the previous evening by security guards. The timing connected contemporary violence to the long history of Black resistance commemorated on 20 November. Protesters challenged corporate responsibility and public denial of racism, while the mobilization joined local grief to a broader national movement against anti-Black violence.
