Venezuela published its Organic Law Against Racial Discrimination in Official Gazette No. 39,823. The law established a state framework addressing discrimination based on race and ethnicity, in a period when Afro-descendant recognition had also entered census and public commemorative policy. A law is a formal commitment rather than evidence of implementation or equal outcomes. The event belongs in a history of slavery because emancipation did not automatically dismantle racial hierarchy, and later antiracist efforts have had to confront that longer legacy.
